A global footer or global drab and drop section would be a time saver.

Just tried this based on your YT link, and I see your point Renaat.

This feature update does make a lot of sense.

One thing you can do right now to get more control over your slides beyond what the GW editor provides, is to export the presentation to PDF - either one section at a time, or the whole thing (note - this will be a much larger file - my test showed that just 'Step One' was 8.2mb).

Once you have the pdf (the system will email it to you) - then use Adobe's free Pdf to PPT converter online, download the PPT file, then edit it in PPT - It seems to work fairly well. :)

And, if you can edit it in PPT, Google Slides will likely import the PPT there too, for online editing - in case you don't use Powerpoint, and don't want to buy it. Google Slides being a free inclusion with Gmail - as you probably already know.

I tried the PPT file exported from Adobe in Powerpoint, and Google sheets (imported to Google sheets then converted to GS format, but conversion didn't seem necessary either, to edit).

Screenshot from both GS and PPT attached.

You be able to reformat (or 'edit') the Theme applied to the whole file there, and add a consistent footer + get more control over the slides design.

Bonus - You can add speaker notes to slides on either of these apps too, so if you're presenting the slide while recording your course, this could be rather useful. :)

Hope this was helpful - at least until global elements / footers is added to the GW editor.

(Note: I don't work for Aaron in any way, this was just an exercise for me, and I'll make use of this myself now too. Full credit to the GW community as I someone may have suggested a similar process some months back in the FB group - which now more happens on Skool).

UPDATE:

You can just open a PDF in Adobe PDF Reader and export to PPT straight out of that too. (I forgot about that til a moment ago).
