I have about 10 site collections on SharePoint 2016 on-prem that I want to brand with our custom .css. I have the .css working great in one of the site collections, but I'm curious about how to apply to the rest of the site collections.

Here's how I link the .css in my master page :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<% $SPUrl:~SiteCollection/Style Library/Susan.css%>" runat="server"/>

Is there a way to use the .css across site collections?

You can set location of CSS file through PowerShell:

$site = Get-SPSite https://mysitecollection
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs)
{

    $web.AlternateCssUrl  = $site.Url + "/Style Library/Susan.css"
    $web.Update();
    Write-Host "Set CSS for site " + $web.Url
}

$site.Dispose()

EDIT:

Here is a solution without PowerShell. You basically create a copy of your master page, modify it with your CSS file and use that as master page for your all sites. Please take note of creating a copy of the master page as it's basically a bad idea to modify stuff that's in use by SharePoint.

Then afterwards you just have to set the new master page across your site collections.

  • sorry, I forgot to mention I'm trying to do this without PowerShell. (Long boring story about it) for our 2016 on -prem sites.
