A template is the design your words are poured into. Songs and scripture each have their own, so a song can sit on a starry motion background while the reading uses a calm serif.
Use a template
- Open the Templates tab at the bottom of the window.
- Choose Song or Bible. (Slide holds templates for presentations.)
- Hover a design and click the round use button on it.
The change is immediate. If a song is live, its slides switch to the new look straight away:
Make it your own
- Hover a design and click duplicate. An editable copy appears under Customized.
- Click your copy to open it in the Slide Editor, and change the fonts, colours, background or motion.
- Use your copy like any other.
Or click New in Slide Editor to start from a blank canvas.
