My Premium PowerPoint Masterclass: www.udemy.com/complete-powerp...
With this tutorial I would like to answer the most burning questions about the PowerPoint Slide Master / Master Slide view. I will showcase how to add layouts, how to edit the current layouts, how to operate and add (or delete) placeholders for content or pictures. We will also talk how to shoot firebolts out of your fingers and when master slides (or rather layouts) are useful and when not.

why is this video so perfect?
Thank you very much Amal Nagi! Appreciate you watching and commenting, that helps! :) You are too kind, glad you enojyed it
Very helpful - THANKS! Is there a way to do the same but to an OBJECT which you want to be on TOP of all graphics/backgrounds? Lets say i want LOGO to appear all slides in the same place on top of anything i do and place on that slide?
What a good idea! I think natively powerpoint doesn't allow to make something stick to the very top of all layers! How stupid, ur right this should be a feature right away. I don't know there is a solution right now other than just having the logo on the side of your slide, once you finish simply click on the logo and press "bring to front" and drag it over to the slide, it will be on top of anything
The Slides Master ! Thanks
haha thank you man
You are such a good friendly person. Your explanation are more than a professor level. I can understand you very well and because of you I discover a new hobby. I need more from your videos. I watched almost all your PowerPoint videos on Ud... the money worth it.
I’m would be very satisfied and happy if you can show me more slides of your work.
Thank you Francesco you are more than kind to me, glad to have you as a viewer and also student, big kudos towards you :)
trying to learn powerpoint after being a master with indesign and illustrator, thanks for making my life a million times easier!

Thank you very much Hans! Appreciate you watching and commenting, that helps! :)
Thanks a lot! For many years I was wondering what those series of slides were below the main slide in' Slide master' ' section! Thanks for the Gyaan.
Thank you very much balachandra rao! Appreciate you watching and commenting, that helps! :) Yeah slide master is a bit awkward to deal with!
thank you so much, easy to understand
Thank you very much my friend, glad you checked the tut out :)
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Thanks. I enjoyed the finger fireballs. Wasn't clear here how to save this template for future use. I'm worried it would overwrite the exisiting default blank template. So I didn't save it.
Just don't worry about the default template, yeah. Even if you delete it (For this particular presentation) it will be again there when you start a new file and even if it wouldn't it isn't anything special so loosing it wouldn't matter haha :)
Thank you so much sir
Thank you very much Nargis Ahmed! Appreciate you watching and commenting, that helps! :)

I love you so much you made my day and my life so easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so easy to understand and do!
You are too kind, glad this tutorial did help you!
@@andrewpach I just needed to declare my love !!!! I was L-O-S-T and I needed EXACTLY this. I am virtual teaching and everything was moving around, but with your ideas , preparing my class everyday now takes minutes and not hours. THANK YOUUUU!!!! you took your time to do this video, so thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Awesome! Hope to shoot fireballs from my fingers soon. But seriously, very good explanation. Thank you.
Exactly, don't mind the slide master since the fireballs are way more important and bettter :)
Hi Thanks for useful trick. Do You kow how to save custom slides as default and re open them in new / blank presentation?
Well you can save "templates" so the custom layouts you made will be saved, but you can easily also copy over slides from one presentation to another by simply CTRL+C and CTRL+V - it's also a quick way
Great video Andrew! I do have one question, I have an image placeholder that is used as a background on the master slide. On top of this I have shapes that cover top and bottom of the image. My issue is that when I make a new slide using the master slide, the placeholder image always pops up in font and I can't seem to "send to back" behind the shapes.
I don't know what I need to do to make the shapes I have movable or stay ontop of the main image.
Hello Elliot. Thank you. I'm not sure if you talk about an image placeholder or an actual image placed into the slide master. Whatever will be put in the slide master will be in the background of the slide (for example a shape or a picture) and you can easily place items over it.
I can hardly believe you cannot send an image to back if you can click on it, that is practically impossible, I would need a screenshot or see the presentation with the Selection Pane opened. The selection pane allows you to decide what comes first and what comes later, so this is one way of adjusting what is visible right away and what hidden behind other objects.
great demo of custom shapes
Thank you :)
Very good.
Thank you :)
You dont know that you have just saved my life from the advanced IT exam, love your videos
Oh, so 365 for Windows should give you the newest possible version with all features included. The issue must be on your PC. Do you have a webcam connected? The feature works 100% on my side. No issues.
hi, just wanna ask is there a way for Ppt 2010 to make custom shapes for the picture ??
I think yes, PPT 2010 had the Edit Points feature. You can also bring in the Merge / Combine shapes option if you go to your PPT Options > Customize Ribbons > and there you have to find from the "All Commands" list find "Combine Shapes" and add it to your PPT 2010 ribbon. Once you have that you possibly should be able to do what you see in the tutorial. If not then it may be that PPT 2010 can't do it. That's the best solution I can give you!
Thanks 🙏💕😌🙏
Sure thing, you are welcome!
Thank you for this. :)
No problem 😊

Hi, I'm trying from a Mac version to create PPT templates that are having transparency blocks. In my master slides, I would like to have placeholders images first, then a transparent block and finally text in the foreground. How is it possible to make it user friendly for clients that are not skilled with PPT?
Not exactly possible, or at least you won't be able to click on the picture and possible overlay block once you are on the slide.
The way you could do it just add the picture and transparent shape on the slide master but I think the text box could be added on the slide itself....or also on the slide master. The text block will be however the only clickable element, the picture/block will be hard embedded into the slide and NOT changeable anymore unless you go again inside the slide master.
Hi, Thank you for your useful Tutorial, I was trying it my own in PPT 2013, I was able to intersect the placeholder and shape but when I was trying to drag images then it did not go into the placeholders automatically, could you please confirm what could be the issue here?
No worries, I have got it now, I was trying to add images in the Master Layout not the slides, but it is working now.
Hah awesome to hear that :) True, you have to insert them once you are back in the presentation and apply that layout

Hi, how do I gray out buttons that I have already clicked? Like for example, I have a slide master with a menu with buttons for navigation to all lessons in the course. Learners can display the menu on the screen from any point in the course and move to a new lesson.
I want a button to appear grayed out if a lesson has been visited. Appreciate your help!!
That's not exactly something for what powerpoint would be best for. Yes sure, you can give that button a TRIGGER animation that it greys out but after you play that slide back again it will be colored.
The only solution I see would be to duplicate the slide and have a colored button on one slide, and a greyed out slide on the other slide. Once someone complets the lecture he would go to the "next" slide where the button is greyed out. But that would only work if you continue the presentation from top to bottom not when someone clicks a random lecture. Not able to give you a solution.
This is Pro! 🎉👍🏼
Thank you very much @rajsuthar999! Appreciate you watching and commenting, that helps! :)
Is it possible to add an editable text box in master slide view? Such a feature would let me insert a generic left-docked advancement panel (not sure how to call this, but the thing that lets the audience know which element of the presentation you are currently presenting)
yes, you cna add a text placeholder that will be editable within the slide master. Just a regular Text placeholder would do. You can turn it 90 degrees if you want it somehow be on the side.
Very awesome 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, thanks a lot for your video. Do you know why I can't bring a shape in front of a picture placeholder ? In the master slide, it's ok, but once I go in the presentation, the shape is in the back. One text shape is in front of the picture tho. Thanks a lot for your help
Master slides overrule any settings on slide. Anything that is set up within a slide master layouuts will be on the very bottom of the slide. You must add the shape / text / picture you want to be in front inside of PowerPoint, not within the layouts on Slide Master view. You are correct and this is just how it works so don't even try :D
@@andrewpach ok, thank you for your answer :)
Question: Can you re-alter the Master title location? Once I re-organise my title text location on the slide and save it, "preserve it" if you press rest on the standard slide deck view, it resets to the original format I designed.
Whatever you change on the standard slide deck will overwrite the original master slide, but if you change that again on the master slide it will re-adjust. This is tricky because the TITLE layout is the very first layout after the Master Slide. If you want ONE slide or that title to be different and stay in place regardless of the changes you make on the master slide just go into the normal PowerPoiint view, go to INSERT > TEXT BOX > and insert a text box and use that as title. This newly created text box won't be affected by any changes you make on the master slide.
@@andrewpach You are amazing! Thank you so much! That works!
Hi Andrew. I managed to do the slide master presentation, but unfortunately now when I try to open the slide on a projector, it only opens one slide without any information? What can I do so that all the slides are present on the slide show? 🤔
I don't understand what you mean, slide master vs showing it on a projector. I think you simply have to exit the slide master view and all your slides are normally inside of powerpoint, once you create them they will be 100% visible!
Nice
Thanks
how i add Picture to that Hexagonal shape sir? i have tried but i can't put in that shape
Go into your presentation > right click on the slide > select the layout and then just drag and drop and image into powerpoint it will automatically snap into the hexagon if you did it like in the tutorial :)
PS. Engineer please do not advertise fiverr on my channel. That's rude.
hello Andrew Pach,
I have two questions, how can I format chart with in a master slide?
how can I make template for chart? ( i found this option when i click create chart)
I hope you will answer. Thanks a lot
Arifa I can't really answer that inside a comment, it would take ages. I don't think you can format a chart inside the master slide since inside the master slide you are adding only a chart placeholder. The actual presentation template (color scheme and fonts) make a start for the design and you adjust things by hand once its already there.
Your second question is in the microsoft suppoprt answered: support.office.com/en-us/article/save-a-custom-chart-as-a-template-259a5f9d-a9ec-4b3f-94b6-9f5e55187f2a
Thanks a lot for replying!!! You are a great man!
how to apply the cuztomizations
how to apply picture background
how the main title (or everything) stays at every slide
How to apply customizations? You can go to VIEW > SLIDE MASTER > and apply them inside any layout you want. The main title stays everywhere as the current used layout specifies. You can also make global changes on the master slide (the first big slide). Your question is very wide, it almost requires a 30minute video answer :)
The pictures get smaller once they are shown in normal view but in SlideMaster view it was half page picture holder.
Any suggestions
Myabe play around with the cropping itself once you place them in the placeholder. I'm not exactly sure if you explain a bug or it's a powerpoint thingy
Hi I appreciate you sharing your content. Do you do coaching and consultation sessions?
Hello Genee! Since I'm running a company I don't have time for individual lectures since I prefer to upgrade and release new material for my business, so currently I don't do coaching! Thanks for asking
Thanks for your response. I will continue to watch your videos and utilise your teachings on udemy.
Well presented. Your funny.
Thank you kindly! I always like to drop in a little humour ;P
1 question.
Say I design master slides, and I want it to be filled with my co-worker how can I prevent him to modify or accidentally alter the template that i have created? is there any way it can be locked? but enable the user to fill in what is required?
You can give a password to your PPT presentation, one stage is only to READ the presentation, the second stage of password is to EDIT the presentation. If you only want him to see the presentation you can hide the second "edit" password from him :) I think you can't "lock" the Master Slides and layouts template editing itself, you can either lock an entire presentation from beeing edited or not.
@@andrewpach thanks for your respond. MS should include the function to lock object to prevent from alteration.
Are the slide masters saved in the file or on the computer? If they are on the computer, where are they stored?
In the file! Slide masters will be only saved in the computer if you save your current design as a "template" under the DESIGN tab, then it will be on your computer.
Running into an issue where the new layout slides I add aren't editable, they seem to be locked. Any explanation to why this may be happening?
Never had an issue with that, if you go inside the slide master the slides (layouts) should be easily editable. You mean locked how / where. In the slide master or your actual slides?
They are not locked. IF you add regular elements like shapes on a Layout of course it will be locked because that is what layouts are for. To hard set elements on it! You must always remember that when you do something on a Layout you should use Placeholders. If you simply add shapes, text, text boxes form the Insert menu they will be locked. Please check now your layout again and make sure that you use placeholders - nothing will be locked then :) Good luck!
Has your Udemy course been updated for PowerPoint 2021?
Hello Pickadon, both my masterclasses are up to date, new lectures are added and the older ones are still relevant since PPT 2016 / 2019 has almost the same functionality apart from a few features (like zoom, morph etc.). There is no PPT2021, there is only PPT2019 currently which is the newest which has minor updates for 2021. The coruses are going strong and I always keep them fresh with some new lectures:) On a side note - you have a 30-day money back guarantee and you can read through the curriculum to see if they are a fit for you!
whats the purpose of the large master vs the smaller ones?
The large master is a parent to all other ones. Whatever you apply do the main master slide will be visible on all other layouts. However, when you apply something to a layout it will be only visible on that one layout.
Just discovered your course, super helpful and clear! I am running into a problem with the master slide and I can't seem to find a solution. I have created a custom shape in the master slide. Behind this custom shape there is a picture placeholder. When using this lay-out in a regular presentation, the custom shape sticks to the background and the image is on top of the custom shape. Do you have any tips on how I can fix this? Thank you!
There is no "fix" for that, since shapes are "fixed" into background once added on master slides. You'd have to simply add that shape on the slide, within PowerPoint natively, not within the slide master area :)
@@andrewpach Thank you for your fast reply! Such a shame it's not possible because the template I am making will be distributed within an entire team. Will create a different lay-out then ;-)
There should be a "click off" making it possible to either set shapes on the background or in front of elements, at least within the slide master so we would get a choice as designers...but you know Microsoft programmers did it like this years ago and it never changed.
