<Steps>
  <Step title="Add and position the element">
    Select the required shape, arrow, or line from **Elements**. Drag the selection handles to resize it, then move it into place on the canvas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Style a shape">
    Use the contextual controls to set the fill and border. Adjust opacity, corner radius, and shadow when they support the design.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Format a line or connector">
    Drag the endpoints into place, then choose the stroke, thickness, and end style from the toolbar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the composition">
    Check the slide at its final size. Keep connectors easy to follow, maintain consistent styling, and make sure no element obscures text or data.
