Create default agenda slide layouts

You can apply a custom layout to think-cell agenda slides that defines the position of agenda elements and other slide objects such as headers or images. You add this custom layout to a PowerPoint template for all users in your organization.

To apply a custom layout to think-cell agenda slides, follow these steps:

1. In PowerPoint, in the Slide Master view, create a new custom layout. Typically, you will duplicate one of the existing custom layouts that best match the desired look of a think-cell agenda slide.
2. Name the new custom layout think-cell agenda. think-cell will only use this custom layout, if it exactly matches this name, which is case-sensitive.
3. Only include shapes on the think-cell agenda custom layout that should appear like this on every agenda slide.
4. While editing the custom layout, choose Agenda Placeholder from the Elements menu. This element is only available when editing a custom layout. It adds an agenda placeholder on the current custom layout.
5. Choose the agenda placeholder position as described in Position agenda elements.

When a custom layout created this way and named think-cell agenda is found in the current presentation, Chapter will use this custom layout, including any additional shapes on it and place the agenda at the preset position.
