## Before you begin

   1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionPlugins.

   {#configure-theme-sow-itsm__substeps_pyf_x3v_dcc}
2. Create a theme using Theme Builder by referring to [Create a theme with Theme Builder](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=tb-create-theme&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).  
   Polaris is the default theme for Next Experience, and this theme cannot be copied. So, we must create a theme and publish it for use.
3. Use the experience preview to preview the theme in the workspace.
4. Select Apply theme form the drop-down in the top-right corner.  
   Theme is deployed at the instance level.
5. Select View issues to review accessibility issues if the theme does not meet accessibility requirements.  
   For example, issues with contrast between colors and text for backgrounds and buttons.
6. Select Apply.
