How Layouts Affect Slides
Let's take a look at how editing the layout affected our slide:
- Click the "Slides" button in the lower-right to exit the theme editor and return to the slide editor.
- We customized the "Title and Text" layout, which is assigned to our second slide. Click the second slide's thumbnail in the sorter to select it.
- If the second slide has not updated to the new layout, you may need to assign another layout and then re-assign the "Title and Text" layout to see the change.
- Here you can see that the title text is updated to the settings we made in the "Title and Text" layout, including any effects or builds.
- If you have a placeholder selected at the slide level you can see which attributes are locked. Here we have the title text placeholder selected and we see that its position is locked but we can change styles and builds at the slide level.
- If you have made changes to placeholder attributes, or if you are not seeing the correct formatting for any reason, simply press the "Reset" button for that particular attribute and the slide will be updated to reflect the placeholder's formatting.
