Master Page Layout and Design
Creating Master Page for Content allows users to set up a consistent look and feel in the pages. This means that once the set up for the pages is done, the only thing users need to concern themselves with is adding content.
To set the layout for the Content Master Page:
- In the Slides section, click Content.
- A Master Slide Page is displayed.
Note: The tools described in this section are also available for creating the Cover Page.
