A block is a slide section containing related elements. Select the block when a change should affect the complete section; select a child when only one element should change.

​
Edit a block

1

Enable Select Edit

Open the presentation and turn on Select Edit in the editor toolbar.
2

Select the block

Select the outer boundary of the content section. If a child element is selected first, move up to its parent block.
3

Apply the change

Adjust its direction, alignment, padding, gaps, size, style, or child arrangement with the available controls.
4

Review its children

Confirm that text, images, charts, tables, and spacing still fit inside the updated block.
Select the smallest block that contains everything you intend to change. This keeps nearby slide content unaffected.
If a child snaps back after being moved, its parent layout is controlling the position. Adjust the parent layout or ungroup the content before positioning the child independently.
