How to use the Library in PowerPoint

Creating a new presentation

  • The option to start the template creation flow from the home tab is only available within the Templafy VSTO add-in

 

Users also have the option to create a blank presentation or open the template creation flow inside PowerPoint via the Blank Presentation and Find template buttons in their ribbon.

  • Mac & Office Online users (using the web add-in) will see the Templafy add-in on the right end of the ribbon, whereas PC users (using the VSTO add-in) will see the add-in on the left end of the ribbon

 

Lastly, it is also possible to create a new presentation from the Library pane by clicking on Find template.

Inserting assets 

  1. Click on the Templafy icon in the Home tab or in the Templafy tab
  2. The PowerPoint Library is opened with the different assets, made available by your Templafy administrator(s)
  3. Click on an asset to insert it as explained below
dark.svg Slides: insert a slide or a slide collection in your active presentation
dark.svg Slide elements: insert a slide element on your active slide
dark.svg Images: insert an image on your active slide, or in your selected placeholder/shape
- DAM Integrations: insert an asset from an external DAM into your active slide

 

 
  • The insertion of Slides and Slide elements from Templafy Library will apply the "Use Destination Theme" option from Office. If the slide being inserted contains a custom picture or a solid background it will be maintained.
  • Templafy Slides Library will only display the slides that are matching the aspect ratio of your active presentation.
  • The slide elements will be inserted as a slide when using the web add-in (Mac & Office online)
  • Images can only be inserted into placeholders using the VSTO add-in (PC) and will be inserted on top of the slide in Mac, Office Online, and Google Slides.

 

Example:

  • Create a presentation with "Compose a TenantName presentation"
  • Insert a slide and an image
