Template Editing starts after Template Creation. Use it to test and refine how a saved template behaves when Presenton generates new content.

​
Watch the template-editing workflow

This narrated walkthrough covers editing template text and schema limits, reconstructing a slide, checking layout metadata, and saving the refined template.

​
Editing workflow

1

Select a slide

Choose a template slide from the thumbnail rail.
2

Test its text behavior

Edit text on the canvas or adjust its schema content and character limits.
3

Reconstruct when required

Rebuild a slide when its template construction or rendering is incomplete.
4

Review layout metadata

Open Layouts to inspect slide IDs and descriptions.
5

Save

Review the reconstructed slide and select Save.

​
Edit text and schema behavior

Select template slides, edit canvas text, and verify the schema beside the slide

  1. Select a text element on the template slide.
  2. Replace its sample content.
  3. Use the visible text toolbar when the template typography or text box needs adjustment.
  4. Check the updated slide at the expected content length.

Schema controls for content density, type, character bounds, and sample content

Use realistic short and long samples. The goal is to confirm that generated text remains readable without breaking the intended layout.

​
Reconstruct a slide

Use Re-Construct when a slide is blank, partially rendered, or has a template-construction issue.

Slide actions

Re-Construct and Copy ID controls below the active template slide

Start Re-Construct and wait while the canvas rebuilds

After reconstruction, verify the slide content, text bounds, object placement, and schema before saving.

​
Inspect Deck Layouts

Open Layouts to search the template’s reusable slide layouts.

Open Deck Layouts, expand a layout, and inspect its ID and description

For each important layout:
  1. Confirm the Slide ID identifies the layout clearly.
  2. Confirm the Slide Description matches the visible structure and intended use.
  3. Use the copy control when the layout ID is needed elsewhere.

​
Save the template

Template-level actions

Template actions with Copy ID, undo, redo, Delete Template, and Save
Select Save after reviewing the edited slides and layout metadata. Copy ID copies the template identifier; undo and redo are available beside it.
Delete Template removes the template. Use it only when deletion is intended.

Template Creation

Return to the separate workflow for creating a template from an existing PPTX.
