Once you create a template and load it into Slideform, you may review the output and want to make some changes to the template. The good news is that it is easy to make edits and refresh the template without having to re-do the data mapping. ### 1. Open the template To open your template from within Slideform, just click Configure Data on the Project card. Then Click the blue link on the template filename.![Screenshot 2024-02-06 at 11.42.25 AM](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-02-06%20at%2011.42.25%20AM.png?width=313&height=319&name=Screenshot%202024-02-06%20at%2011.42.25%20AM.png) This will open the Google Slides file in a separate tab, or will trigger a download of the template if it is a PowerPoint file. ### 2. Make stylistic changes to the template You may want to edit the template for any stylistic changes, such as color, styling, images, adding or deleting slides, etc.  Changes will be autosaved in Google Slides. If using PowerPoint, save the template file. ### 3. Add or remove pragmas You may also add or remove pragmas in the template. Review the pragma syntax here: [Create a Template](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/how-to-create-a-slide-deck-template?hsLang=en) Changes will be autosaved in Google Slides. If using PowerPoint, save the template file. ### 4. Refresh the template in your project After your edits are complete, open the project by clicking Configure Data on the Project card. ⇒ If using Google Slides: click the green **Refresh** button under the template thumbnail. ⇒ If using PowerPoint: click the red **Remove** button under the template thumbnail. Then upload the new template file in the space indicated. If you added any new pragmas to the template, be sure to complete the data mapping for those pragmas. ### 5. Save the project Scroll down to the bottom of the Configure Data page and click save :). Your new template is ready to use.   Video walkthrough:   - [Getting started](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pull data from a Dashboard](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#pull-data-from-a-dashboard) - [Pull data from a Spreadsheet](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#pull-data-from-a-spreadsheet) - [Pull data from a CRM](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#pull-data-from-a-crm) - [Pull data from a Database](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#pull-data-from-a-database) - [Data Sources](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/data-sources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Data Source Setup](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/data-sources?hsLang=en#data-source-setup) - [Advanced Data Source Configuration](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/data-sources?hsLang=en#advanced-data-source-configuration) - [Templates](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/templates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Create a template](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/templates?hsLang=en#create-a-template) - [Manage templates](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/templates?hsLang=en#manage-templates) - [Projects](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Output Settings](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/projects?hsLang=en#output-settings) - [Bulk Mode](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/projects?hsLang=en#bulk-mode) - [Account](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Personal account settings](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/account?hsLang=en#personal-account-settings) - [Admin settings](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/account?hsLang=en#admin-settings) - [AI Analyst](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/ai-analyst?hsLang=en) - [Home](https://slideform.co/index.html) - [Blog](https://slideform.co/blog/) - [Help Center](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/) - [Security](https://trust.slideform.co/) - [Terms of Service](https://slideform.co/terms.html) - [Privacy](https://slideform.co/privacy.html) [![slideform logo](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Slideform_logo_text_black.png?width=223&height=50&name=Slideform_logo_text_black.png "slideform logo")](https://slideform.co?hsLang=en) slideform.co Help Center Copyright © 2025, Slideform Inc.
