  1. Make sure you are using an empower® Master that complies with your corporate design.

  2. In the PowerPoint Online tab Home, click on the button New Slide or Slide Layout (Figure 132, “Buttons New Slide or Slide Layout”).

    1. If you insert a new slide, click on the lower part of the split button New Slide to open the slide layout selection.

The content types you can insert depend on the placeholder type.

To insert elements that comply with your corporate design and have been saved to the empower® Library section Design Templates, follow the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the empower® Ribbon.

  2. Click on the button Library (Figure 134, “Button Library”).

    The library opens in the sidepane.

  1. Navigate to the empower® Ribbon.

  2. Click on the button Library.

    The library opens in the sidepane.
