A slide master adds consistency to your colors, fonts, headings, logos, and other styles, and helps unify the form of your presentation. Using the Slide Master is an easy way to adjust the look of an existing theme or make overall changes to all slides in your presentation. When you edit the Slide Master, all slides that are based on that master will contain those changes.
