How to Use Copilot in Microsoft PowerPoint

So, what happens to the original thing? So, it's still, it's definitely one of those things, though, that when you look at things, so I'm sure the writing is going to get better. It's going to become more accurate in time. But one thing that I found is that if you just go completely with what AI writes, when you get into it, like, it does not have the same level of knowledge and applicable stuff.

So, some of these things, you know, like, in an email, for example, when I've given it information, it can write an email pretty well. But, like, for example, if I say write a course outline for teaching, for example, Microsoft Copilot, at a high level, it can get that sort of stuff. But when it comes into the detail and, like, the nuance and, like, the order, I realize I'm, like, yeah, it doesn't really know what it's doing.

I can't really use this. So, even sometimes the outlines are, like, that's not how a good educator would do this. So, if you're just reading something at a high level surface level, sometimes it can be fine.

But when it comes to the higher level thinking, like, knowing in which order to teach things, it's not very good at that. Now, once I get, let's say, my outline generated, and then I wanted to write something about a particular topic, that's where I can start to use this. But if you're giving it too big of a thing that requires actual industry knowledge, it's not good at doing those things yet.

I do say yet because you never know as they train it on more and more stuff. As they keep making it better, in theory, it might be able to keep getting smarter and smarter and smarter as they train it. But right now, you'll see, oh, the article, if I didn't know anything about the industry, maybe it seems fine.

But then as you start to read it, you're, like, it's kind of generic. Like, does this person really know what they're talking about? There are times when it knows a lot about what it's talking about. And there's other times where you can tell, like, it's not really an expert in this industry.

It's superficial. Based on past experience, what works. You're, like, oh, this sounds good to a beginner.

But it's not good, you know. Say, what if I put five documents which are quite, you know, professional in terms of their details and then ask it to write another one around such and such. You know, kind of, like, I'm just thinking, like, if you were able to reference several detailed documents with your words of your company or your professional, let's say.

Remember, this is not training it how to write. This is saying here's something to replicate. So you're not saying use this style of writing when referencing.

You're saying use this style of document. Like, try to write a document in the same format with the same outline. So I don't think you can reference multiple documents in this.

Also, let me go do this on the Windows side, too, just so you can see a little bit of both. If I say business plan and then so reference a file. So let's say I choose Hawaii.

So it's actually, you know, let's try it this way. So let's say we say write a business plan for a Hawaii travel company similar to this. And let's see what it does, actually.

Let's see if it uses the information in that Hawaii file. Although it might be a little hard to see if it uses that particular file. See if it can follow that business plan.

It might just know its own part about Hawaii. Yeah, well, there you go. There's the business plan.

It's such a good business plan. Okay, let's hit try again. There we go.

Okay. If it doesn't work at first, try it again. Okay.

So it's just making stuff up, making up websites. All right. See, I don't think it's using that other Hawaii file because it's trying to make it like that business plan.

I don't think it's actually using that other file because I think this is just making this stuff up. The intent of this is to use a document as a reference to try to create another file that's kind of similar in like the structure and the outline. That's the intent of that file, of this thing.

It's not to say write it in this style using this type of language. That's not what this is for. It's saying let's follow the format of this reference file.

Yeah. And like we were having a discussion over lunchtime is right now there's not really a lot of features too much that kind of help you write in your specific style. There are some things like ChatGPD has a custom GPT that you can create.

Later we're going to see that there are Microsoft agents that you can create. They're just starting to incorporate those so we'll see if we can. I was never actually successfully able to create an agent, although they were starting to just roll it out.

We're going to try again today to see if I can actually create an agent. But agents are like custom GPTs. That's really the only place right now where you can say here's an example of my writing to kind of learn from that.

But the general most of the features are not kind of geared towards here's a sample of my writing. Start to write like I write. I hope in time that there will be ways that you can train it to say look at my emails.

See how I typically respond to emails. A lot of that stuff requires a lot of context, though. So the issue I think right now is that there's these things called context windows, which is how much data it can think about at any given time.

And so we're getting bigger context windows, meaning you can consider more and more stuff. But the problem is with context windows is it not only needs to know things, but then it needs to generate responses and keep context over message after message after message. We're just running right now into limitations on computing power because the servers right now are still, you know, they're still ramping up servers, getting more servers, getting more power.

So as servers get faster, as they create more computational, as they get more efficient models that work better, as they create more powerful servers, they can process this stuff better. I think we're going to see the capabilities grow so they can think about more stuff. Because to look at, like, let's say a bunch of different emails, that takes up some of your context.

Because it needs to think about that stuff. It's kind of like RAM on a computer. The more RAM you have, the more programs you can have open up.

So I think as time goes on, I would be hopeful, even though they haven't said this, but I would be hopeful that they can get better context and they can remember more of these things. And they can start to learn how you respond and how you write based on things. But that requires them having bigger context windows.

Also, people have to start trusting to give all that stuff over. A lot of people are still freaked out by the idea of giving AI too much unfettered access to their stuff. It doesn't bother me as long as, you know, it's done in a secure way.

That they can start to learn how I write so that I can say, yeah, generate this thing. And if it sounds like me, to me, that's great because I'm saving time. So some people, they are really freaked out about giving ChatGPT, giving Microsoft Copilot too much access to things.

And I think that's why Microsoft said none of our products, not even free, will train off of your data to store it in the model itself. It's all just used for you. Because they don't even want the concept that anybody with Copilot, that any of your data is training the model.

They just want it for you specifically. Because with ChatGPT, on some people, they do train the model on that stuff. And that freaks some people out.

Apple was criticized, not rightfully so, but because on the new iPhones and the new Macs that are starting to get Apple Intelligence, leave it to Apple to change AI to Apple Intelligence. Like that's some brilliant advertising right there. Apple Intelligence is AI, right? So it's kind of funny to me.

But just because they had an integration in Siri to say, oh, maybe I can't do this, maybe ChatGPT can do this, that they would then, if you chose to, send your stuff to ChatGPT, if you explicitly said to, and they'd send it anonymously because you don't even have to have an account. So it's not even associated with you. But people are like, oh, ChatGPT is getting, OpenAI is getting everything on your phone.

No, they're getting nothing on your phone. Only what you choose to send to OpenAI will go to OpenAI. And people were like, arguing back and forth.

They're like, Apple didn't create its own artificial intelligence. They're just using ChatGPT. And it's like, no, no, they actually did.

They outlined how they're doing it on device, in their private cloud. But just because they mentioned ChatGPT, they're like, oh, they're just selling all of our information to ChatGPT. So there's a lot of people that are scared of this stuff, that are not understanding how this stuff works.

So I think we're in this kind of preliminary time of we're getting people used to what's going on and the privacy implications of it. And I think if something was too convincingly you, that would freak a lot of people out right now. Like, wow, it writes exactly like me.

It knows all of my past history of all my emails. That would freak a lot of people out. Even though when they sit there and think about it, they're like, wait, this is actually kind of cool that I could let it maybe reply to an email.

Maybe I could just look at it and say, oh, that sounds good. Like, send it off. Like, this could be a great time saver.

This is going to empower you to do more stuff. You know, just like I wouldn't give up a calculator today to go back to doing it manually. Right? So like every new technology lets us do things easier, do things faster.

And we have to give up some of our stuff so that they can learn from that. And as long as it's done in a private way, then it can serve to help us. It can't sound like us and reply like us unless it learns from us.

So hopefully as time goes on, they'll get better at doing that sort of stuff. PowerPoint. So in PowerPoint, just like we've been saying, you can summarize things, obviously.

If you have a presentation and you wanted to summarize it, it can. Just like you can summarize PDFs. You can summarize pretty much anything.

You can ask questions about stuff in a presentation. So you don't have to go through the whole presentation. You can generate entire presentations.

You can convert files into PowerPoint presentations. You can add slides. So you can do a variety of different stuff.

So for example, let's say I want to just summarize a presentation because I don't want to read the whole thing. I just want to say summarize it. So I can open up a presentation.

I'll do this on the Windows side. I will open from my class files. Got this creative briefs presentation.

Enable editing. So I've got this presentation here. And it's got a bunch of text in it.

It's got 22 slides. I really don't want to have to read through 22 slides to get a quick sense of what this is about. So I've got my copilot button up here.

They even have a button here, understand, summarize this presentation. I can just click it. And then hit send.

I could also say summarize it in a certain number of sentences, a certain number of bullet points. So I say here's a summary of the deck. Main idea.

So this is about creative briefs. So define. Creative brief is a concise document outlining project scope and deliverables.

And if I click on it, they take me to the slide that talks about that. Purpose ensures all stakeholders understand project goals and objectives. That's gotten from this slide and from this slide.

So they kind of took things from different slides and put into one. So they go through. But if I want something to be shorter.

Summarize this in two sentences. A creative brief is a concise document that outlines the scope of a project. Defines deliverables and serves as a roadmap for stakeholders.

Ensuring all understand the project goals and objectives. It includes key components such as project background, target audience, key messaging and objectives. And is essential for aligning team and client expectations.

Streamlining the creative process and ensuring project success. And they cite the various slides that they got those things from. Okay.

So you can get a quick idea. But we can also ask it more specific things. So you might want to learn about something.

What is such and such? Like what is a creative brief? What is something? So as you're looking through, you know, if you're like, oh, what about, you know, something about client. Something about there was something about project scope. Explain project scope.

They talk about project scope. So they'll look here and they pull the relevant things from the slides. So it found that in this slide.

Project scope is there. And they talk more about it, which they got from some other slides. So you can ask questions.

And I'll find the relevant stuff from the various slides. So let's say let's give it something specific about notes versus slide stuff. If I find something, let's say I put something in my note about Dan Rodney.

Just so I can ask a question about Dan Rodney. I'm sure I'm not mentioned anywhere in this slide deck. We'll see if it can differentiate notes.

Dan Rodney is a graphic designer based in NYC. Okay. So let's just say we're somewhere else.

Where is Dan Rodney based? We'll see. Okay. So that just found something completely random and different from, like, mail or something.

So that did not look in this presentation. Yes. Yeah, because Copilot has access to your emails and other things.

So it didn't look in this. Tell me more about Dan Rodney from this presentation. Because it might not have access to notes.

Yeah. So I don't think it has access to the notes. Because if it did, it would have been picking that up.

So it's funny. It can actually create. So this presentation actually was created by Copilot originally.

I did not create this presentation manually. I actually asked it. I took a blog post.

We're going to actually learn how to do this. I took a blog post that we had that was all of our content. And I said create a presentation from our blog post.

And it created the notes. So it can create notes. But obviously it can't read those notes.

So whereas if I put this, if I copy that from there, then I put it into there. Now if I say tell me about Dan Rodney. Oh, still.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. From your document.

There we go. So it did. Yeah, I know you're still writing there.

So it did find it from this. So it can't do notes. It's got to look at the actual presentation.

Now, if you want to create a presentation, you can create a presentation in different ways. You could say go do the research and do it yourself. You could say use a web page and build one based on a web page.

And maybe it's like a website. Maybe you have a blog post that you wrote, and you want to turn that into a presentation. So I could say create a presentation on the uniqueness of each Hawaiian island.

If I create a new file here, notice how it pops up this little co-pilot button automatically. Create a presentation about, and then about what? You could type something in. The uniqueness of each Hawaiian island.

So this is kind of giving you an outline view here where before it creates the whole presentation, you can say, well, I know the big island is big, but I think we'd rather do Maui, Oahu, and Kauai beforehand. Maybe you want to do Oahu first because it's got Honolulu in it. And maybe you're like, yeah, Molokai and Lanai, like they're kind of small.

So maybe I don't do those. I could trash those. So you can start to refine the order before it creates all those slots.

You could say, no, don't do that. Do this. Maybe I want to add something new in here.

Maybe I add a new thing about an overview of the main islands because it just went right into each of the islands. So maybe I have an overview first, and then I go into each of the islands. Maybe I want to add a summary.

I can select it, but can't double-click to edit that. Yeah. I can drag to rearrange, but I can't edit that specific thing.

Obviously, once I create the slide deck, I can go and change things. But the idea here is an overview of, let's make sure the main topics. Do I need to change this? Insert ones.

Delete certain topics. And then if overall I think that's pretty good, I can then hit generate. This is something like Chatship ED can't do anything like this because it can't create PowerPoint files.

It's building the slides, writing the text, laying them out, downloading images. Applying a design. Let's see the presentation, and then we'll talk about that.

Okay. So let's say I say keep it. I can double-click into there, and I'm going to go into slideshow mode.

Even added some animation, although I think that's a little slow for the animation. So these are not AI-generated images. These are images that are downloaded.

I believe these all come by default from, Microsoft has their own stock images that you can use commercially. So I believe that these are all coming from the normal, like if you say insert stock image within PowerPoint, these are all coming from that. But these are not AI-generated images.

Because as you look through these, like, I know, I've been to Haleakala, like that's Haleakala. That's not an AI-generated version. These are actual photos.

Not bad for not having to, it did the research, it did the dividers. Like, it's pretty impressive. Now, and also it wrote some notes too, for each slide.

Things you can like additionally talk about. Now there's this designer, and I don't know if you've ever noticed the designer, this designer panel that pops up. Have you ever noticed, this is a different icon than the original designer was? And when you have copilot, this designer icon changes.

And the normal designer really kind of sucks. It's not very good. This is, as far as I could tell, a different designer that, notice how all of these, they look very similar to each other.

So they're kind of on brand as far as this is concerned. And that was the problem with the previous designer, the non-copilot designer, where it was just like doing random stuff that wouldn't look at all like the rest of the presentation should look. So like here, if I want to alternate and go back and forth, that like, you know, here it's on the left.

Well, here was on the left. Like it's always on the left. Maybe I want this to be on the right because I want it to alternate.

And then this one, I want it to be on the right. So I can choose, and it's pretty much staying on point as far as the design goes, which is nice because the previous designer didn't do that. If you use the previous designer and were unimpressed, so I just kind of ruled it off and was like, I'm never going to use this designer thing.

With the copilot here, it does a lot better than the other designer because these are not all totally different designs. These are all designs that fit this pretty much. So that is more useful than it used to be for sure.

And now it goes kind of back and forth and make something a little bit more interesting without me having to do that. Now that was, I was just letting it do the research, but what about if you have a webpage? For example, we have a blog post on our website, the how to write a creative brief. Like what is a creative brief? And this is something that we wrote on our website and we want to turn this into a PowerPoint presentation.

So I could say the content of this webpage. That's what I want it to do. When I create a new file, I could say create a presentation about the content of this webpage and we'll go to that website, look at it, pull the stuff in.

By the way, it just browsed the website, grabbed the content and pulled it in. Like that was fast, right? That was amazingly fast. Do you want to do that? No one does talk branded slides.

Can you start with the brand presentation? Let's come back to that in just a second. Yes, if it's set up properly, but yeah, we'll come back to that in just a second. So let's say, you know, if you want to add new things, you can obviously add new things.

If some of this, you don't want to be in here, you can delete those things, but let's say you like this. You think that's good enough. Hit generate.

It's actually using your website or it could be a document. In this case, it's a website. And here is a 22 page, a 22 slide presentation made from our content on our website with notes.

Pretty decent. Now I can go into designer and I can change things around a little bit. If I want to focus more on the visual, maybe make the visual a little bit bigger there, or if I want to make the text area a little bit bigger and the visual smaller, there's some slightly different layouts, but for the most part, they're still fitting this overall design feel.

So they don't feel super out of place like the previous designer did. Previous designer would just do all sorts of random wacko stuff and it wouldn't keep consistent design pretty much at all. Okay, so let's check out creating a presentation from a file.

So you might have written a file, a Word file. You might have a PDF that you want to use and you want to say, turn this file into a PowerPoint presentation. No, another time.

So anytime you create a new presentation here, you can create the presentation about something, type in a prompt, point it to a webpage, but you can also say, let's create it from a file. So create a presentation from, and this is where I can search for files. Now, if you look here, there's not the add files button, there's add an image, but do you remember the keystroke to browse files? The slash? You have to type in a slash.

I know it'd be nice to have a little button to click, but you have to remember something sometimes to type in the slash. And then this has to be a file either stored in OneDrive or, yeah, see, and then here, there's not even an upload button. So you have to start typing in the file and I think I have something for the creative brief here.

If I start typing in the name, creative brief, believe I have that in OneDrive. And maybe I don't. So let me make sure I have that in my OneDrive.

So let me go put that in there. Let me go close these other files, I don't need those. That is the one thing, I wish I could just browse OneDrive and choose it in there.

All right, so I've got my AI for workplace productivity. And where do I have that? What is a creative brief? So I'm just gonna copy that file and put it into my OneDrive. So where was OneDrive? Up here.

I'm gonna put it into there, paste it. All right, so now it's in my OneDrive. Now, when I hit the slash, I'll start typing in what is, not finding it, should be able to find it.

Let me close that and try it again. Create it from a file, type in what, no, you're not gonna find it. Oh, here we go, files.

Type in creative. All right, so if it doesn't work like this, it does it based on kind of recency. So since I didn't actually open up that file, I'm just gonna open up the file and see if it can say like, oh, you just opened that.

So I'm gonna suggest this file that you just recently opened. Oh, how I wish there was just a browse button. The one thing I don't like, they just give you this tiny little area, especially if you have a lot of files.

It's not the, it's not the best experience for browsing a lot of files. But keep in mind, a lot of this stuff is pretty darn new, like within like months or weeks for some of these features. So think of this as very early stage stuff.

So it should hopefully keep getting better. And, no, are you not gonna show that? No, you're not gonna show it? Let me try it on the Mac version of it. See if the Mac version, it's conceptually the same.

Bring the Mac version over here. Create a presentation from a file. Not sure why the PC one wouldn't be working there.

So from slash, start typing in creative. Hey, there we go. What is a creative brief? There we go.

Okay. Create a presentation from that. And there is our presentation.

That image actually came from the PDF, interestingly enough. Not that I would have used that image. Not a very good image for this.

So this is 31 slides. It's got some smart art. If we wanted to change some of the smart art there.

Yeah, if you wanted a certain number of slides, you could have said to do that. And like here, courses and certifications. There's nothing really listed there.

So, as always, you have to look over things, proofread, make sure it's what you want. Just like you would with anything. And, you know, is this exactly what I would do if I was doing it myself? Not necessarily.

I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna use this for every type of presentation that I'm gonna do. But, you know, there's a time and a place for everything. Because how much time do you have to create a presentation? You have to create something really quickly.

I mean, this was done in a matter of seconds. So, and like, it looks decent. It's not the best thing.

But like, to be honest, depending on how some people do stuff, it looks better than what some people do with intent. Some people are not that great at PowerPoint. So, let's go to this here.

You can also add a slide, right? So, they were creating entire things. if we go into the sidebar, we could say add a slide on, insert some topic. So, I could say, let's say I go right here.

I could say add a slide about PowerPoint. I'm curious if it knows anything about Noble Desktop. Let's see what it says.

I've run into a problem. Try asking me again. Okay.

I will try right now. Let's see if it, no, still has a problem. Okay.

Maybe it doesn't know Noble Desktop. Add a slide. I'm gonna say about Noble Desktop that talks about how we started in 1990 teaching graphic design and web coding.

Still something wrong. Please try again in a moment. Okay.

Well, sometimes if there's ever any issues connecting to the servers, if they're overloaded, sometimes this can happen. This just shows that it's not actually, these things are not running locally on our machine. They are using Microsoft Copilot's servers to do this sort of stuff, to process and to send the stuff back to us.

But in theory, that should work. Now, one thing, so we had the question about could you use your company's templates? Could you use your images? So I saw a video from Microsoft saying that you can have it use your company template, that you can have it use your company images as well. They did not explain anything about how to do that.

And I've not found any reference of how to do that. But as far as I know, I believe it's, I think you have to set up a SharePoint site with, you have to define like a corporate image library. And I believe those things are done through SharePoint.

This is where I actually have to start learning more about all of Microsoft products. And like at a lot of companies, somebody in the administration side will set up these types of things. Like they'll shut up, they'll set up your SharePoint file server, which is kind of like your corporate OneDrive.

They can create SharePoint websites where you can get certain content on the SharePoint site. And I believe, and I could be wrong about this, but I believe you can set up like some sort of corporate image library through SharePoint and then make that available to Copilot. I'm still investigating how to do that side of things.

It's not, it's something that has to be set up for it to work. And Microsoft right now is when they're creating their promotional videos, they're like, look at all this amazing stuff you can do. We're not gonna tell you how to do it.

We're just gonna show, we're gonna sell you on Copilot. And hopefully you can figure out how to do this stuff. So I'm still researching how to do that.

I've not figured it out because I haven't found anything where they explain how to do it. And that's not fun when I'm trying to figure things out. And I've asked Copilot how to do it and it does not know how to do it.

I'm like, Copilot, how do you do this for yourself? No, I don't know. So still trying to figure that out. If I do figure it out, I will be adding it to the slides.

Whenever you download the slides that I have here, the class files in Classes Portal, there's an addition number on the first slide. If you see the addition number changed, then you know that I've updated the slides. In the future, like let's say in a month or two, when you go back and you download the class files again, and you go to that PDF that's in them, if I ever update the slides, you'll get the latest ones.

So far, basically every time I teach this class or teach ChatGPT, things change from month to month, from one month to the next. So this is a very rapidly changing space. As I put out new features or as I figure new things out, I will add those to these slides and I'll keep these updated so that as things change or they add new features, I will put those into the slides and you can benefit from those in the future if you redownload those.

So that link to the class files will change over time that you'll get the latest slides. If you want to keep a copy of the slides as they are now, that's fine. But in the future, if you want to get the updates, just download the class files again and you'll get the benefit of updated slides.

So hopefully I'll be able to figure that out in the future. But right now, I think they're trying to just release the features and then they have to follow up with documentation because their YouTube videos are great at promotion of selling this really cool looking thing and they do amazing animations. We were looking at a video earlier today of animations.

It looked wonderfully produced and they create great promotional videos but then they're like, we're not going to show you how to do any of this stuff. They just show the final result. They're kind of like promotional sales videos versus training videos to actually teach you how to do the stuff to do it.

So a lot of these things, I mean, they do have some videos that explain how to do this stuff. Like if you look up Copilot on the Microsoft YouTube channel, you will find quite a few videos of how to do stuff but also some that just talk very high level about what the concepts are and not so much practical of like how to do all the different stuff. So it's been useful but there's still some things that I've had to figure out on my own and how to use that corporate image library.

I would love to do that but haven't figured out how to do that just yet. But they said it was possible. So it should be possible.

We just need to figure out how to do it. So in that case, it would use your company theme for PowerPoint and it could use your corporate image library but that has to be somehow defined. And I believe that's your SharePoint.

So to answer your question, the answer is yes but it's not just a simple button push to do it. There needs to be some sort of setup. So you may need to talk to your IT department to see how we can get that set up for the company.

Can you just go back to the make a new presentation option? If you do create a presentation from a file, it doesn't mean from a PowerPoint file, right? Yeah. No, it's not from a PowerPoint file because you already have a PowerPoint. It's from a Word file, a PDF or something.

What if you say, put your template file, open that, like just add to that. Right. Yeah.

So let's say. Create 10 new slides. So let's say I choose this.

Yeah. So let's say I choose this and I say create a presentation about, and I'll just say the top three Hawaii islands just so we don't have so much. Generate the slides.

It's a good question. So as long as you choose your theme before you create it, then it will use that theme. So you can choose your corporate theme ahead of time and it will use that corporate theme.

So whatever your current theme is, it will use that theme. Now the images that it chose are not from my like corporate library, right? But as long as you choose your company theme before you create it, it will use whatever theme you're currently in. And then even these other design options are still kind of within that theme.

Now, as far as templates, are they using those specific slide layouts that you have? This is kind of this same kind of general style. Now, this one here, is there a slide template just like that? No. So it does, it's kind of reminiscent of it, but it sometimes goes off script even within your theme.

Like it's still very similar to it. It still use the same fonts, use the same general background, but it did use the same border. So it's not necessarily 100% sticking to just your templates.

Oh, so like if you say, let's say create a new presentation, let's say with a certain design. So let's say this is your... Yeah. So let's say I have certain content here.

This is content, right? Title here. So then if I go in here and say, rewrite this slide to be about Maui. I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

So it can't rewrite this slide. So that's one thing it can't do. And this one, unlike Word, does not have like the little rewrite button here.

This, but let's see. So here we got summarize, replace. Here we have this, replace this presentation or with presentation about.

So this over here is different than the chat over there. If we do this, then we go into this create part. And let's say Maui.

But notice it says it will create a new presentation using your current theme, but we'll replace any content. So it's still kind of create a new presentation with this current theme. So it's not, you're not replacing what's there.

You're just using the same theme. Yeah. But just be careful because sometimes it won't use your theme templates.

The layouts, exactly. They'll be based on a layout, but they can still, they'll be willing to change things a little bit because the designer gets in there and says like, oh, I won't exactly strictly stick to the layout. Like I might change the layout just a little bit.

So it's more like loosely based on the template. Now you could always reset the layouts because as long as they're based on one of the layouts, you could say reset it to like get it to go back to the layouts, as long as it uses one of the layouts. So you know how you can go in there and you can say reset the layout.

If somebody's like gone and altered a slide, you can say reset it back to the way the slide normally is. So for example, here, as long as this is based on a layout, but this is based on two content, it doesn't really look like two content. If I say reset, that's how two content looks.

So they're really, they're taking a little bit of liberty with their stuff. And I don't know why they're basing it on two content because that's a single thing. So that's the one thing I don't like.

Yes, it's based on your theme, but they're not sticking to the layouts within the theme. And like this doesn't look bad, but there's not an actual layout that matches. Does it feel like the theme? Yeah, because it kept some of the parts of my theme, but they're not exactly.

If I hit reset, so these things are all kind of loosely based on the theme that kind of feels like it fits, but it's not necessarily literally exactly the theme. If that's a problem, then maybe consider having it write the content that you can use and then just manually put into your theme or go through and reset and choose the appropriate layout. So like if you want title and content and then you say reset, you might need to do some cleanup.

Like you might have leftover images that you don't need. And unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't use the placeholders that it should be using. So sometimes it's just easier just to have it generate the content than to have it generate the slideshow.

I'm hoping that in the future, there's some way that I can say, don't go off the layouts. Like only use my layouts. That's it.

Yeah, right now they don't look bad, but they're not exactly strictly to my corporate layout, which I'd really like for them to do. Because it's not quite enough to just use the theme. Although if it's a quick thing, maybe that's close enough.
