Embedded Files
To promote consistency across your presentations, you can set up templates that anyone in the organisation can access as the starting point for their new presentations, spreadsheets and presentations. Templates can contain standard text, formatting and layouts.

Creating templates
To create a template, you first need to create a presentation, sheet or presentation on which the template will be based. This can be a file you have imported into Google Drive, or created in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. Ensure that the file only contains the text, objects and formatting that you want to copy into each new presentation created from the template.
Once the master file has been created, it can be added to the template gallery as follows:
Use the App Launcher button to view the home page for Google Slides
Click on the Template Gallery link along the top of the screen
Click on your domain name to view your organisation's template gallery
Click on the Submit template button
Click on the Select button and locate the presentation, spreadsheet or presentation you wish to submit as a template.
Click on Open to add the presentation.
If you wish to keep the original presentation in your own My Drive, check the box to submit a copy of the file instead of the original
If you have chosen to create a copy of the presentation, enter a name for the template
Click on the Category drop-down list to choose a category for the template
Click on Submit
Once you have added a template to the gallery, you can click on the ellipses under the presentation tile to edit the template, update the template name or category, or remove the template from the gallery.
