# Templates

> Choose and manage reusable layouts for Standard presentations.

A template is a collection of reusable slide layouts and blocks. It controls where generated content can go and how consistently the deck follows a design system.

Standard presentations use the same template model in Cloud and open-source Presenton. After reviewing the outline, open **Select Template**, inspect the built-in or custom designs, and confirm one before generating.

Open **Templates** to browse the library, preview a design, or start the custom-template workflow. A generated Standard presentation keeps text, images, shapes, tables, charts, and other supported content as editable objects.

## Choose a strong template

* Match the audience and delivery context.
* Confirm that the available layouts cover titles, sections, content, data, visuals, and conclusions needed by the outline.
* Prefer layouts that remain readable with realistic short and long content.
* Check required fonts before relying on the template for export.
* Generate a representative test deck before adopting a custom template for repeated use.

<Note>
  Cloud Smart presentations use Smart designs instead of Standard template layouts. Smart does not change how the shared Standard editor works.
