Start with your working presentation

For a new presentation, start with your organization’s current template. If you already have the presentation you want to work in, open it in PowerPoint and skip this step.

  1. Download the template and save a working copy

    Done when: Your working presentation is open in PowerPoint and saved under its own name.

Combine the slides you need

With your presentation open, open Pickit in PowerPoint. As you insert slides, use Insert with theme for your open presentation’s theme or Insert without theme to keep the source formatting. The main Insert button uses your account’s default.

If the slide is saved as its own file, its action is Insert slide; follow the separate-slide instructions below.

  1. Insert the prepared slides into your presentation

    Done when: The slides you need appear in your working presentation with the intended formatting.

Save and check the finished presentation

Adapt the text and layout for your audience, review the finished slides and save your presentation. You are done when the saved presentation contains the material you need and the slides look as intended.

Return to Pickit for current material next time. Replacing a source file does not update slides already inserted or presentations already downloaded.
