This article will guide you through the last section of the Table of Content's Options. If you're not familiar with UpSlide's PowerPoint automation, you might want to look at our Getting started article.
The Templates tab allows you to change the type of template used for your presentation. There are several scenarios where you might need it:
- You initially set up a Light template for your presentation but now want more flexibility with your template. You wish to change it to a Standard template.
- You want to add a new presentation to the list of templates available in your Templates dropdown menu. You want to apply the options of an existing template to your new presentation.
In the UpSlide ribbon, go to the References section and click Options, then Templates. If you're in a scenario where you want to switch between a Light and a Standard template, select the right option, then click Apply.
Important
If you apply a new template style to your presentation, all the options you have selected in the Agenda, Section Divider, Subsection Divider, etc. will be set back to the default values. The formatting applied in the automation slides will also be removed and the placeholders reverted back to default.
If you have a presentation with an UpSlide template you like the look of, you can apply its Options settings with the option Pick up from open presentation. It will apply the options you selected in the tabs Agenda, Section Divider, Subsection Divider, etc. to your new presentation. It will also copy the positioning and formatting of all the placeholders in the automation slides.
