In short, the slide master in PowerPoint is nothing more than your individual design template.Įlements that are set in the master can’t be moved or deleted in the normal editing mode. This includes titles, subtitles, text and image placeholders, footers and logos.
In the slide master, you can preset the formatting and positioning of all principal elements in your presentation. And best of all? You won’t have to worry about annoying formatting. It helps you maintain a uniform appearance and quickly create new slides at any time. Think of it as a kind of toolbox in the background of your presentation that encompasses all the rules of layout. The slide master (found in PowerPoint under > View > Slide Master) is the basic framework and control center of any good presentation.
