Understanding slides and layouts

Every slide in your presentation is built on a layout. Layouts define the structural zones of a slide — where the title goes, where body text lives, and how images or charts are positioned.

Built-in layout types

• Title slide — large headline with optional subtitle and logo
• Headline + body — title at the top, paragraph content below
• Two columns — side-by-side content blocks
• Image + text — a photo or graphic on one side, copy on the other
• Full bleed image — an image that fills the entire slide with overlaid text
• Data / chart — dedicated space for a chart or data table
• Quote — large pull-quote with attribution
• Thank you / closing — simple closing slide

Switching a slide's layout

Click the Layout button in the toolbar (the grid icon) while a slide is active. A picker appears showing all available layouts. Click one to apply it. Your existing content is preserved and redistributed to fit the new structure.

Free-form editing

Beyond layout templates, you can freely drag and resize any element. Select an element, then drag it anywhere on the canvas or use the resize handles at its corners. To break out of the layout grid entirely, right-click the element and choose Free Position.
