If you have set up logo placeholders or fixed logo graphics on a master template, you might want to make sure that users do not place other elements above the logo.

To make sure users do not do that, you can set up the logo protection.

If logo protection is enabled for the logo, the empower® Corporate Design Check checks if there are any elements on the slide which are overlapping with the logo.

If this is the case, an error entry will be included in the check results.

The logo protection needs to be enabled in the slide master view.

Important

The empower® Corporate Design Check does only check for logo protection violations if the respective option has been enabled in the empower® Customizing Center. The settings must be set for the design that the master template is assigned to during the upload.

For further information regarding the access to the empower® Customizing Center, see empower® Help.

For further information regarding the Corporate Design Check settings in the empower® Customizing Center, refer to our empower® Admin Center manual.

Enable Logo Protection

To set up the logo protection, follow the following steps:

  1. Open the master template.

  2. Navigate to the tab View.

  3. Click on the button Slide Master (Figure 291, “Button Slide Master”).

  1. In the slide master view, navigate to the slide that contains the logo placeholder or logo graphic.

    1. If a logo placeholder has been used during the setup, press Alt + F10 to view the selection pane.

    2. If the placeholder has been hidden, click on the eye symbol next to the logo placeholder to show the placeholder on the slide (Figure 292, “Logo in Selection Pane”).

  1. Right-click on the logo placeholder or on the logo graphic.

    A context menu opens.

  2. Here, choose the option Enable Logo Protection Area (Figure 293, “Option Enable Logo Protection Area”).

    The placeholder or graphic now defines the area in which no other elements must be placed.

    If users use elements that overlap with the logo, an error entry is triggered in the Corporate Design Check.

  1. To hide the placeholder again, click on the eye symbol in the selection pane again.

  2. If you have set up your master with multiple logo placeholders or multiple logo graphics, repeat steps 4 to 9 for all logo placeholders or graphics in the master that you want to protect.

  3. Now, leave the slide master view and save the master template back to the empower® Library.

    Make sure all required settings in the empower® Admin Center are set accordingly.

Note

If you have decided to display the logo on all slide layouts, you have probably only set up one logo placeholder on the primary slide of the master template. This placeholder is then used for all other slide layouts.

If you have decided to display the logo only on specific slides, multiple logo placeholders have been set up on individual slide layouts. If required, make sure to enable logo protection for all logo placeholders.

For further information regarding the setup of logo placeholders, see Incorporate Multiple Logos.

Note

The name of the logo placeholder or graphic displayed in the selection pane depends on the master's setup.

Note

If a placeholder has been set up for logo protection, a checkmark symbol is displayed next to the option in the context menu.
