Introducing a refreshed library of high-quality Google Slides templates that elevate your presentations

What’s changing 

We’re introducing a new collection of modern, professionally designed templates in Google Slides to help users build presentations much faster. These new templates cater to a wide range of use cases that provide users with the perfect starting point for their presentations. For example, there are:
  • Sales pitches, product roadmaps and strategic plans templates for business users. 
  • Lesson plans, book reports and project reports templates for education users. 
  • Milestone celebrations, workshop facilitation and team game templates for anyone looking to build collaborative teams. 
Access these templates using the new "Templates" button in the Slides toolbar or by going to Insert > Templates. Once clicked, you can browse the collection, select a template that aligns with your vision and style, and choose to insert all slides or just the ones you need before personalizing the template with your own content.

Why you’d use it 

Slides templates enable users to jumpstart their presentation, maintain a consistent look and feel, and focus on what matters most. More specifically, they help users overcome the blank canvas and spend less time on design by enabling them to dive straight into crafting compelling content that is visually cohesive and professional.

You can expect even more high-quality Slides template options in the coming months.
