If your presentation does not yet contain a master page, you can add one. A master page allows you to define a single background layout that will be applied automatically to all pages in your presentation where the master page is enabled. This helps ensure a consistent design across multiple pages and simplifies maintenance.

​
How to Add a Master Page to Your Presentation

  1. Go to the Page menu.
  2. In the Insert section, select Master Page.

The application will automatically switch to the master page, allowing you to start designing it immediately. You can verify that you are working on the master page by checking the status bar at the bottom left of the application window.

Once you are done designing your master page, you can return to normal pages using the navigation options under the View menu in the Go To section.

​
Designing Your Master Page

When working on a master page, you have full design functionality, just like when designing a regular page. This means you can:

  • Add any type of page element (e.g., text, images, video, web content).
  • Use data providers to include real-time data (e.g., clocks, news feeds).

​
Important Notes

  • Master page elements remain active and visible during playback, even when switching between normal pages. For example, if you add a video or scrolling ticker to your master page, it will continue playing as users navigate between pages.
  • When you add a master page, it is automatically applied to all existing pages in your presentation.
  • If you do not want the master page shown on specific pages, go to those page’s Style properties and disable the “Show the Master Page on the Background of this Page” option.

Tip

If you have multiple pages sharing the same layout, it is recommended to use a master page. This way, you only need to maintain and update the layout once, in a central place, rather than on each individual page. This improves consistency and efficiency in managing your presentation design.
