Lesson 14: Editing Master Slides and Layouts/en/googleslides/presenting-your-slide-show/content/ Editing master slides and layoutsYou may have noticed that when you select a different theme in Google Slides, it rearranges the text on your slides and adds shapes to the background. This is because each theme has built-in slide layouts and background graphics. You can edit these layouts with a feature called the master template editor. Once you learn how to use the editor, you'll be able to customize your entire slide show with just a few clicks. Watch the video below to learn how to edit master slides and layouts: Using the master template editorThe master template editor in Google Slides allows you to quickly modify the slides and slide layouts in your presentation. From there, you can edit the master slide, which will affect every slide in the presentation. You can also modify individual slide layouts, which will change any slides using those layouts. Here are some common uses for the master template editor.
Customizing the master slideIf you want to change something on all slides of your presentation, you can edit the master slide. In our example, we'll change the title font color.
Customizing slide layoutsYou can use the master template editor to modify any slide layout in your presentation. It's easy to make small tweaks like adjusting background graphics and more significant changes like rearranging or deleting placeholders. Unlike the master slide, changes to a slide layout will only be applied to slides using that layout in your presentation.
Unlike PowerPoint, pictures arent contained in placeholders, so they dont move when you change the theme. Should you edit all of the layouts?The theme may contain layouts that arent used by your presentation. Its up to you whether you edit all of them or just some of them. You may want to just focus on the layouts that are currently used by your presentation. On the other hand, if you plan to add more slides or use your theme in other presentations, you may want to edit all layouts to make sure the design is consistent. Using your theme in other presentationsOnce you've customized the master slide and layouts of your current presentation, you can import those same designs into a new presentation as a theme.
