What’s changing
You can now more easily and quickly create with high-quality, pre-designed branded templates and themes in Google Slides and Forms.
Once an admin distributes branded materials to users in their domain, they will have access to:
- A domain template with a variety of branded slides, layouts, images, colors and fonts that will appear when creating a new presentation in Slides.
- A domain theme including fonts, branded colors and a header image that you can use when creating a new form or editing an existing form in Forms.
