Custom PowerPoint Templates are part of the custom branding package available to all customers. To learn more about the custom branding package read this article.
Setting up your custom PowerPoint file for success
Locate the desired PowerPoint file. This can be a company or team-approved file. Don't have one? Download our default starter template to get started.
Next, add two slides to your PowerPoint file. The first slide will be the cover/title slide and the second slide will be the content slide. Below is what your PowerPoint file should look like. You d not need to add any content to the slides.
Select slide layouts from the layout dropdown menu.
Your cover slide should at least have placeholders for a title, subtitle, and footer. It is ok if your layout has more placeholders.
Your content slide should at least have placeholders for a title, a content area for charts/visualizations, and a footer. It is ok if your layout has more placeholders.
LAYOUT & DESIGN TIP: We recommend using font sizes larger than 6px to ensure the footer meta data is legibile.
Once you have a PowerPoint file with two slides, each with a layout and design of your liking, you're ready to load the file into KnowledgeHound.
