Expanding branding and customization capabilities in Google Slides and Google Forms

You can now more easily and quickly create with high-quality, pre-designed branded templates and themes in Google Slides and Forms.

Once an admin distributes branded materials to users in their domain, they will have access to:

A domain template with a variety of branded slides, layouts, images, colors and fonts that will appear when creating a new presentation in Slides.
A domain theme including fonts, branded colors and a header image that you can use when creating a new form or editing an existing form in Forms.

Admins and end users

These features enhance brand consistency across an organization.

Admins have the ability to assign a domain template to all users in the organization, or specify particular templates for certain workgroups.

Admins: These features will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the domain, OU, or group level. In the Admin console, go to Apps > Google Workspace > Setting for Drive and Docs > Templates > Default themes and templates > Forms default theme or Slide library template. Visit the Help Center to learn more about default templates & themes.
End users: If enabled by your admin, access the default theme in Forms by clicking the “Customize Theme” icon in the top right corner of the header menu. To access a slide template, use the template sidebar that opens by default on new documents, or open the sidebar by going to Insert >Templates. Visit the Help Center to learn more about adding, deleting & organizing slides, changing the theme, background, or layout in Google Slides, creating a file from a template, and changing the theme or font of your form
