The Components and Variables for Google Slides™ Add-on enables advanced design management in your presentations by creating reusable elements and maintaining visual consistency across multiple slides. Key features include:

Component Creation: Transform any slide element (shapes, text boxes, images) into reusable master components with a single click. Each component serves as the central template for design properties and content management.

Instance Management: Create component instances through duplication or by converting existing similar elements into instances. All instances maintain automatic connection to their master component for seamless updates.

Global Synchronization: When you modify a master component's visual properties, instantly update all instances across your entire presentation with one click. Changes propagate automatically while preserving individual positioning of each element.

Comprehensive Property Sync: Synchronizes fill colors, border styles, text formatting (bold, italic, underline), font properties, text alignment, sizes, and transparency settings. Handles both shape properties and text styling with precision.

Flexible Workflow: Add instances through duplication for new elements, or connect existing elements to components for retroactive organization. Perfect for maintaining brand consistency and design standards across large presentations.

Professional Management: Clean sidebar interface for component organization with instance tracking, bulk operations, and component details. View instance counts and creation dates for complete project oversight.

Whether you're creating branded presentations, maintaining design systems, or working with repetitive visual elements, this Add-on eliminates tedious manual updates by letting you make one change and propagate it across dozens of slides instantly. Essential for designers, marketers, educators, and professionals who need consistent, efficient presentation workflows.
