# Templates and branding

> Use existing PowerPoint designs to create consistent, editable presentations.

Start from an existing `.pptx` when your team already has an approved presentation style. Presenton turns representative slides into reusable layouts for future decks.

## Prepare a useful source deck

* Include a title, section, content, comparison, data, and closing layout when relevant.
* Keep fonts, colors, spacing, and alignment consistent.
* Remove hidden experiments and near-duplicate slides.
* Use editable PowerPoint objects where possible.
* Make required fonts available during template creation.

Once saved, Presenton can choose a suitable layout for each part of the outline and produce an editable deck that follows the same visual language.
