Brand, Blocks, and Sources

The fastest way to improve every future deck is to set up the workspace well once. Brand controls, reusable blocks, and source inputs do different jobs, but together they make the whole workspace more consistent.

Brand kit

The brand kit screen showing editable colors, typography, and token locking controls.
The brand surface makes extracted tokens legible and gives the team explicit lock controls.

Brand kit: define the system once

  • Add or review colors, typography, logo, and voice so new decks start closer to the look you want.
  • Lock the tokens that should stay stable across refreshes and future updates.
  • Treat this page as the shared design system for the workspace, not just a one-time setup screen.

Reusable blocks

The blocks library showing reusable saved slides and sections.
Reusable blocks provide a middle layer between one-off decks and the full brand system.

Blocks: save what works

Reusable blocks are best for slides or sections that come up repeatedly, such as company overviews, closing asks, comparison layouts, or approved visual patterns.

  • Save blocks that already perform well.
  • Reuse them when you want consistency without rebuilding from scratch.
  • Keep an eye on which blocks are used most often so the best patterns become part of the team's default toolkit.

Source inputs

The inputs screen with paste, URL, and document-based sources used for generation.
Inputs are modeled as first-class assets with type, freshness, and reuse metadata.

Sources: ground important content

Sources give the workspace a memory. They are especially useful for decks that need to be reviewed by teammates, sent to customers, or supported by specific claims.

  • Add documents, URLs, or pasted content that should inform generation.
  • Refresh sources when the underlying material changes.
  • Prefer source-backed generation for decks that include important numbers or sensitive wording.

How the three layers work together

Brand keeps the workspace recognizable

Every new deck starts closer to the visual system your team expects.

Blocks keep strong slides reusable

Successful patterns stop being one-off wins and become part of the team's working library.

Sources keep the content defensible

Documents, URLs, and pasted material make it easier to review what the deck is actually saying.
