Use layout tools to make the reader’s next question easy to answer. A consistent arrangement matters more than fitting every available block onto one slide.
Plan a readable slide
Give each slide one job: introduce the property, explain terms, compare evidence, or show a renovation proposal. Keep headings, repeated labels, and logo placement consistent across the deck.
Before making a comp card or document preview smaller, check whether a second slide would communicate it better. Text that looks acceptable on an editing monitor can become unreadable in a shared view or on a phone.
Position and size an element
- Select the element on the canvas.
- Open its Format Options.
- Adjust Width and Height, using the displayed pixel or inch controls as appropriate.
- Use Lock Aspect Ratio when preserving the element’s proportions matters.
- Adjust the angle or available rotate/flip controls when needed.
- Inspect the slide again at its normal viewing size.
Changing a box’s size is not the same as choosing a better photo crop. Check faces, room details, and the subject property after any image adjustment.
Align elements and control stacking
Use the available alignment actions to align left, center, right, top, middle, or bottom. Use distribution controls for even spacing across several items.
When elements overlap, use Bring to Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, or Send to Back. For example, send a background shape behind a heading rather than repeatedly moving the text away from it.
Check the current selection before applying an action. Aligning one element or arranging a selected group may produce a different result from adjusting each child inside that group.
Keep composed blocks together
Property summaries, comp cards, renovation pairs, and profile blocks can contain multiple elements. Moving the group together preserves the relationship between images, labels, and values.
Use Group for an appropriate multi-element selection. Use Ungroup only when you need to edit the children independently. After ungrouping, check that labels still belong to the right data or image.
The selection toolbar exposes tools such as Distribute horizontally, Distribute vertically, Tidy up, and layout controls when they apply. Choose the appropriate selection and inspect the result; a layout action is not a substitute for reviewing the slide’s reading order.
Add company branding
- Review the company logo you intend to use.
- Expand Icons & Logos in the Elements panel.
- Drag an available company-logo item onto the slide.
- Resize it without distorting its proportions.
- Use the same position and approximate scale on comparable slides.
If the company-logo item is absent, check whether a company logo exists for the profile. The separate company-logo guide explains the upload and synchronization workflow.
Use shapes and icons to support navigation or explanation, not to compete with the property evidence. Maintain readable contrast between text and backgrounds.
Add profile and signature information
Expand Profile to use the available contact-information and signature items. The panel supports dragging profile information, an available signature, or the combined profile/signature block.
Inspect the name, email, phone, website, profile photo, and signature that appear. Missing profile information can produce generic fallback content; replace or correct that information before sharing. A signature image is branding material here, not a substitute for a document-signing workflow.
When reusing a template, check which user’s contact information is resolved for the current deck and intended audience. Also inspect Include Contact Information in the export options.
Finish with a visual review
Save the presentation and open Preview. Check the cover, longest heading, densest comp slide, smallest chart labels, and any full-page document. Then inspect the actual published view or downloaded file.
If the layout is useful for future properties, save it as a template. Verify each new property’s bound content after reuse, and review typed labels and custom images separately.
