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:

  1. Select any element (shape, text box, image) in your slide
  2. Choose “Open Component Manager” from the menu
  3. 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!
