Improved slide layouts with new size and position controls in Google Slides

We’re adding new controls to adjust the size and position of shapes, images, text boxes, and more in Google Slides. This builds on our launch from April, when we added guide and ruler features to give you more control over object positions and text alignment. Together these features provide precise control over slides and enable the design of more attractive and effective presentations. The new options allow users to:

• Set exact size by numeric value or percentage scale 
• Adjust object position on a slide 
• Rotate by flipping horizontally or vertically, or setting a precise rotation angle 

	New object size and position controls in Google Slides

You can access the new controls through:

• Format menu > Format options 
• Right click on object > Format options 
• Select object > Format options in the toolbar 

See our Help Center for more information on how to arrange objects in Google Slides.
