“Master” view in Google Slides renamed to “Theme Builder”
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
Quick summary
We’re renaming the “Master” view in Google Slides to “Theme Builder”. This change better communicates the benefits: to help users quickly customize the font, color, and layout customization for their current theme, ensuring a consistent experience throughout the presentation.
Further, it eliminates a non-inclusive term from our products, helping us build toward our goal of having inclusive language throughout Google Workspace products.
