This document discusses branding Office 365 and SharePoint. It provides an overview of how branding can be done using themes, CSS, JavaScript, and add-ins while avoiding custom master pages, web templates, and list templates. Best practices for branding include focusing on content and business value rather than features, and using styles and add-ins rather than customizing pages. Challenges of branding certain Office 365 applications like MySite, Delve, and Sway are also addressed.
