Post-install tip
Welcome to Components and Variables for Google Slides!
Thank you for installing the Components and Variables Add-on for Google Slides. Here’s how to get started:
Open a Presentation: Open any Google Slides presentation where you want to create reusable components.
Access the Menu: After opening your presentation, look for the “Components and Variables” menu in the top toolbar.
Create Components:
- Select any element (shape, text box, image) in your slide
- Choose “Open Component Manager” from the menu
- Enter a component name and click “Create Component”
Manage Instances:
- Duplicate: Create new instances of your component on any slide
- Add Instance: Convert existing similar elements into component instances
- Update Instances: Sync all instances when you modify the master component
Synchronization: When you change the master element’s design (colors, borders, text formatting), click “Update Instances” to automatically apply those changes to all instances across your presentation.
Tip: This works like Figma’s component system – create once, use everywhere, update globally!
