Editing a Theme Instance lets you adjust the configuration of a Theme assigned to one of your Competition overlays without altering the underlying Theme itself.

​

Themes are platform-level assets built by the LIGR team and assigned to your Organisation. A Theme Instance is a customer-level configuration of one of those Themes, applied at the Competition overlay level.

​

A Competition can have multiple overlays, and each overlay has its own Theme Instance and Game Plan. For example, one overlay might carry a full-graphics broadcast configuration while another drives a scoreboard-only output. Editing a Theme Instance updates how graphics appear for every match that uses the overlay it is assigned to.

​

Make sure you have:

​

• An existing Competition with at least one overlay configured

​

• A Theme Instance assigned to that overlay

​

• Admin or Owner permissions on your Organisation

​

1. From the main menu, go to the Competitions section.

​

2. Select the Competition that contains the overlay you want to update.

​

3. Go to Settings, then Streams and Overlays.

​

4. Open Overlay Settings and locate the overlay whose Theme Instance you want to edit.

​

5. Open the Theme Instance configuration for that overlay.

​

6. Make your changes to the available settings.

​

7. Save your changes.

​

Depending on how the Theme has been built by the LIGR team, a Theme Instance may expose options such as:

​

• Default graphics and assets used by the overlay

​

• Visibility and behaviour settings for graphics provided by the Theme

​

• The Game Plan or playlists tied to the overlay (for example, a scoreboard-only live playlist)

​

• Theme-specific configuration options made available on the instance

​

• Output configuration for the stream the overlay feeds

​

Changes to a Theme Instance apply to:

​

• New matches created under the Competition using the overlay that references the instance

​

• Existing matches that reference the instance, once the production session is reloaded

​

If a match is currently live, the production session may need to be refreshed to pull the updated configuration.

​

• Duplicate a Theme Instance before making major changes so you have a fallback configuration.

​

• Use clear, descriptive names for each Theme Instance (for example, "Main Broadcast" versus "Scoreboard Only") to avoid confusion during match setup.

​

• Test edits on a non-live match before applying them to a scheduled broadcast.

​

• When a Competition has multiple overlays, confirm which Theme Instance feeds which output before editing.

​

• Changes not appearing in a live match: reload the match or refresh the production session to pull the latest Theme Instance configuration.

​

• Graphics look different than expected: check that you edited the correct Theme Instance. A Competition can have more than one overlay, each with its own instance.

​

• Cannot edit an instance: confirm you have Admin or Owner access. Standard Users and Gameday Operators may have limited permissions.

​

• A setting you expected is not available: the options exposed on a Theme Instance are determined by the Theme itself. If something you need is not configurable, contact LIGR support to discuss the Theme.
