What you see when it worked

Extraction confirms with Branding data extracted and saved successfully!, the dialogs confirm with Colors saved successfully and Fonts saved successfully, and a logo confirms with Light logo updated or Dark logo updated.

Brand Colors changes from No brand colors defined yet to a grid of swatches, and its button changes from Assign Colors to Edit Colors. Each font name renders in its own typeface.

After a logo upload, check the box shows your logo. The confirmation appears even when the file did not save, so upload it again if the box is empty.
