Paragon 11.3 (part 2) has new features for users.
Introducing National Branded Themes
Last year, Paragon added five new themes and bold graphic banners on Paragon Connect. This year Paragon has added 20 colour themes inspired by national brokerages across Canada and the U.S. These themes are based solely on the brand colours — they do not affect your brokerage’s logo, name, or any identifying information. The enhancement is visual only.
This feature is available exclusively in Paragon Connect for now, with plans to expand to the Collaboration Center in a future release.
How to Update Your Paragon Connect Theme
Here’s how to update and personalize your Paragon Connect theme:
- Open Settings
From the left navigation menu, select Settings, then choose System. - Go to Colour Themes
On the System page, select Colour Themes. This will open a new page where you can update your theme colour or banner graphic. - Choose Your Theme
Under the Colour section, you’ll see two options:- The original default themes released previously
- A new section for National Branded Themes
- Select a Branded Theme
Simply choose the brokerage you’d like to use as your colour theme and click Save. This will apply the selected colour scheme to your Paragon Connect interface.
Want to preview before applying? Click Preview button to see how the theme will look.
- What if your brokerage isn’t listed?
We’ve added an info button next to the national themes section. Clicking this will display the message:
“If your brokerage is not listed, it means the theme isn’t available yet. But don’t worry, more brokerage themes are coming soon!”

Broker-Level Settings
Looking for office-wide settings that apply to everyone in your brokerage? While broker-level controls aren’t currently available in Paragon or Paragon Connect, it is a popular request and it’s something Paragon is considering.
Introducing Graphic Banner Freedom
Alongside the new colour options, Paragon is introducing independent graphic banners. Previously, banners were tied to specific themes, but not anymore. You can choose from more than 30 background options showcasing a variety of locations, landscapes, and timeframes. Paragon Connect users can now get the same customization as Paragon Pro users.
How to Change Your Graphic Banner in Paragon Connect
To update your graphic banner:
- From the left navigation menu, go to Settings,
- Select System, then choose Colour Theme,
- Click on the Graphic Banners tab.
You’ll see a gallery of 30+ banner options showcasing a variety of landscapes, locations, and styles. Simply select the one you like and click Save.
Smarter Tooltips for a Smoother Experience
Paragon Connect and the Collaboration Center use icons throughout the application to keep actions quick and intuitive. Paragon has introduced enhanced tooltips and on larger-screen devices like laptops and desktops these new tooltips are a major upgrade. They appear nearly instantly (compared to the previous 2.5-second delay) and feature larger, more legible text, making it easier to understand each icon at a glance.
Expiring Listing Alerts: Now as Push Notifications
Until now, both agent and consumer apps have supported push notifications.
Previously, you’d receive an email alert when a listing was set to expire within a certain number of days. With this update, if you’re using the agent mobile app, you’ll also receive a real-time push notification right on your phone.
Tap the alert, and you’ll be taken directly to your Listing Maintenance page, where you will see only the listings that are approaching expiration.
Improved Listing Emails from Paragon Connect
Manually Share Listings
In this update, when an agent shares one or more listings from Paragon Connect, the email will now include a clean, modern layout with the agent’s office logo, a short message, and a clear call-to-action. If the agent doesn’t provide a subject line, the system automatically creates one like “Your agent has shared 3 listings with you.”
Clients will see a “View Listings” button that takes them directly into the CollabLink — opening to a listing detail view if one listing was sent, or a thumbnail view if multiple properties were shared. The email also includes the agent’s name, message, and signature block and will still appear in your ‘Sent Messages’ just like before.
