What are inspiration slides?
Inspirations slides are “pre-made” designs to help you build better presentations faster. You can find them on the right side of the PowerPoint Add-In or on the Platform under 'Inspiration slides'.
You can find more than 4000 slides with diagrams, maps, charts, and more in your inspiration library. We have two formats: widescreen and 4:3.
Pro tip: Inspiration slides are great when you already have some bullet points or concepts, and you need them to look visually appealing.
There are 2 main ways to find a slide that matches the content on your slide
Use categories and subcategories to browse
Click on 'All' or navigate through the list of categories on the left.
Once you select a category you can narrow your search by clicking on a subcategory.
If you wish to select multiple categories or subcategories at the same time, click on CTRL + the subcategories you wish (for Mac users click on 'option').
Search based on keywords in the search bar at the top e.g. roadmap or strategy
Go to Inspiration Slides and simply start typing any term you need.
SlideHub will show you first company slides that have been used before with that term. It will also show slides containing that term.
For this example, we used the word: "Marketing"
All inspiration slides are PowerPoint shapes that can be ungrouped and manipulated.
You can change the size by pulling in the corner and holding down Shift to maintain aspect ratio.
You can also ungroup the elements by pressing Ctrl+Shift+G.
Now you can recolor elements, change the size etc.
Right-click over a word on your presentation and search that term directly through the SlideHub library.
Protip: In PowerPoint, Right-click on a word (works best with nouns) to find a slide.
If you constantly use a type of slide, you can mark it as favorite by clicking on the star icon. It will then get saved on “Favorites”
To insert one slide, hover over the slide you like and simply click on “**Insert & Adjust**”. The slide will be added with the active template on your presentation.
To insert multiple slides, click on the slides and then click on the button below that says. “**Insert & Adjust**”. Selected slides will appear with a checkmark on SlideHub before being added to your presentation.
To unselect a slide, click on it again to make remove the checkmark.
You can choose between Inserting them and using the template you’re actively using or keeping the style the inspiration slide comes with.
Insert and keep template: Maintains generic colors when inserted to a presentation.

You can adjust your inspiration slides to use customized colors.

Maybe you fill find a slide you like but would like edited to make it easier to work with. For example, a great comparison table, but you need 7 bullet points, instead of 3.
If this is the case, click on “Use as reference” when you select a slide and then send extra comments to us. This doesn’t have any extra cost and will make the inspiration library more helpful.
