Updating presentation templates has always been tedious. Whether you’re adding slides for a product launch, refreshing layouts, or updating brand colors, traditional tools leave teams stuck with time-consuming manual edits that don’t apply to existing presentations.

deckd’s template update function changes that. This powerful feature ensures your presentations evolve as quickly as your brand and offerings, streamlining workflows and keeping everything consistent.

‍

Why template updates matter

Change is inevitable. As products, brands, and services develop, so do the demands for new presentation layouts and visuals. Traditional tools make these updates cumbersome, forcing teams to:

• Recreate slides from scratch.
• Manually edit layouts across multiple presentations.
• Spend hours ensuring consistency.

This inefficiency leads to outdated presentations circulating in critical meetings and a frustrating waste of time. deckd solves this by introducing a smart template update system that connects directly with Figma, bringing updates into deckd with precision and ease.

How it works

With deckd, updating templates is intentional and seamless:

1. Update templates in Figma: Designers make adjustments—whether adding new slides, changing layouts, tweaking brand elements, or refreshing content.
2. Check for updates in deckd: In the template library, deckd flags any changes made to your templates.
3. Apply updates selectively: Changes sync across presentations, categorized as added, updated, or removed slides. Teams can review and choose what to implement.

The key benefits

• ‍No manual edits: Updates are applied instantly to all linked presentations without rework.‍
• Always on-brand: Every presentation reflects the latest design standards and brand identity.‍
• Time savings: Teams eliminate repetitive slide-by-slide updates, focusing instead on delivering impactful content.

deckd ensures that presentations remain polished and professional without the hassle of tedious updates.

Enhancing collaboration

Beyond the efficiency of template updates, deckd also transforms how teams collaborate. Integrated with Figma’s commenting system, it facilitates real-time feedback and faster iterations:

• ‍Context-specific feedback: Design and GTM teams can leave comments on specific slide elements, ensuring clarity and alignment.
• ‍Two-way sync: Comments flow seamlessly between Figma and deckd, creating a unified feedback loop.‍
• Shortened feedback cycles: Teams align quickly, reducing back-and-forth delays and streamlining updates.

This connected workflow bridges the gap between design and GTM teams, turning feedback into a collaborative, efficient process.
