Themes can be shared in all Insights deployments. You must be signed in to an ArcGIS organization to share themes from Insights desktop. Themes can be saved locally without being signed in to an organization.
Themes are collections of settings on your ArcGIS Insights page, including colors, text, media, and card types. Themes can be saved, shared, and applied to new pages. Using themes can help you apply a consistent standard to your Insights pages.
Theme items are stored in your ArcGIS organization but can only be used in Insights.
