Streamline your presentation creation process by leveraging Slidesgo's templates on Google Slides. With a vast collection of professionally designed layouts, you can create engaging presentations in minutes. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Slidesgo templates on Google Slides.
Before we dive in, ensure you have a Google account and access to Google Slides. If not, sign up at Google and launch Google Slides.
Accessing Slidesgo Templates
Accessing Slidesgo templates is a breeze with the 'Explore' feature in Google Slides. Let's navigate to the templates library.
First, open a new or existing presentation in Google Slides. Then, click on 'Explore' in the menu, located at the bottom right corner of your screen. This opens the 'Explore' panel, displaying various add-ons, themes, and templates.
Searching for Slidesgo Templates
To find Slidesgo templates, click on 'Search templates' or simply type 'Slidesgo' in the search bar. Slidesgo offers a wide range of categories, including business, education, marketing, and more. Browse through the collections, or use the search bar to find a specific theme.
When you find a template you like, you can preview it before applying. Hover over the template thumbnail, and click on the preview icon (magnifying glass) that appears. This will open a larger preview of the template, allowing you to see its design and layout in detail.
Applying a Slidesgo Template
Once you've found the perfect template, click on it to apply. A pop-up window will ask you to confirm that you want to 'Apply the template'. Click 'Yes' to proceed. The template will instantly apply to your presentation, replacing any existing content.
If you're working with an existing presentation and want to keep your current content, create a duplicate of your presentation first. Then, apply the template to the duplicate. This ensures your original presentation remains untouched.
Customizing Your Slidesgo Template
After applying the template, it's time to customize your presentation with your own content. Replace the sample text with your own, and update any placeholder images with relevant ones.
Slidesgo templates come with a variety of slide layouts, making it easy to create different types of slides, such as title slides, section dividers, charts, and tables. You can delete any unnecessary slides or duplicate them to create new content.
Working with Master Slides
Many Slidesgo templates use master slides, allowing you to apply design elements consistently across your presentation. To access master slides, click on the 'Slide' menu option at the top, then 'Edit master', and finally 'Slide master'.
In the slide master view, you can modify elements like fonts, colors, and layout. Any changes you make here will apply to all slides in your presentation that use the master slide. To return to editing your presentation slides, click 'Close' in the top-right corner.
Exporting and Sharing Your Presentation
Once you've finished customizing your presentation, you can download it as a PDF, PNG, or SVG file, or share it directly with others. Click on 'File' and select 'Download' or 'Share' to access these options.
You can also set sharing permissions, such as 'Anyone with the link can view' or 'Only specific people'. Choose the appropriate setting depending on your preferences.
That's it! You've now successfully applied a Slidesgo template to Google Slides and created a professional, engaging presentation. Happy presenting!
