The Slide Master in PowerPoint Online is an essential tool for creating a consistent look and feel across your entire presentation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
- Open Slide Master View: Begin by opening your PowerPoint Online presentation. Navigate to the “View” tab in the top menu and click on the “Slide Master” option. This will switch your workspace to the Slide Master view.
- Choose a Layout: In Slide Master view, you will see a list of different slide layouts on the left side of the screen. These are the different templates that PowerPoint uses when you add a new slide to your presentation. Click on the one that you want to edit.
- Edit the Layout: Once you’ve selected a layout, you can make changes to it just like you would to a regular slide. You can add or remove placeholders, change the background, adjust the fonts, and more. Any changes you make here will apply to all slides that use this layout.
- Insert New Layouts: If you want to create a completely new layout, navigate to the “Slide Master” tab in the top menu and click on the “Insert Layout” button. You can then customize this new layout as you see fit.
- Apply Changes: When you’re finished making changes, click on the “Close Master View” button in the “Slide Master” tab. This will take you back to your regular presentation, where you’ll see that all slides using the edited layouts have been updated to reflect your changes.
Remember, the Slide Master feature is a powerful tool that can help you create professional, consistent presentations. However, it’s crucial to use it with care. Any changes you make in Slide Master view will affect your entire presentation, so always double-check your work before closing out of this view.
