- [Instructor] Slide layouts are a quick way to help
you organize and arrange the information on your slide.
Now we've touched on this a little bit.
When we did create new slide
and we've seen all of these different layouts.
Now, most themes will have a number of different layouts
and the total number can vary.
Now if you want to quickly change how a slide is formatted,
you can do that simply using the layout menu.
So in this presentation,
let's go ahead and click on the content one slide,
which has a title as well as an area to add some more text.
But if we want to, we can change the layout.
So if I click on layout,
you'll see that we have a number of different ones.
I can change this to a section header or a two content,
which allows me to have basically two columns in the scene.
And so on.
Now you can also change layouts for multiple slides.
If I wanted to select these two
and change the layout
from what they are to two content,
we can certainly do that.
And both of those will change.
So you can also do global changes to layouts.
Now if you don't want to use layouts,
you can certainly just use a blank slide.
So if you scroll down to the end of this presentation
and insert a new slide called blank,
that we'll go ahead and insert a blank slide,
and you can add whatever you want to that.
And you can continue to either duplicate or create
additional new slides that have no layout attached,
but for most presentations,
layouts can be a really handy way to get your content
organized and formatted quickly.
