Google is introducing a new collection of modern templates to Google Slides the company says have been “professionally designed” to “cater to a wide range of use cases.” There are new templates for sales pitches, product roadmaps, lesson plans, book reports, workshop facilitation, and even “team game templates” for companies looking to bolster collaboration amongst their staff.
The refreshed library of templates started rolling out to everyone this week, covering both personal Gmail accounts and the various tiers of paid Workspace customers, and the full rollout is expected to be complete before the end of November. However, the new templates will only be available to those with their language specifically set to “English (United States).” Those using “English (United Kingdom)” or “English (Australia)” won’t have access to them.
When available for your account, the refreshed templates can be accessed by opening Google Slides and using either the top toolbar or “Insert > Templates” from the drop-down menu. Once you’ve selected a template you want to use, you’ll be given the option to insert just an individual slide, allowing you to assemble your presentation from various templates or insert all of them, ensuring your presentation has a cohesive visual theme.
