Overview
Slide templates are the source of truth for customized presentations the reps will remix. When creating a template, Dock can reference slides from the following:
PDF
Google Slides
PowerPoint
Google Slides and PowerPoints allow placeholders for dynamic content (such as fields or sections the reps should customize per client, such as logos, objectives / challenges, etc).
Only Admins and Super Admins in Dock can edit company-wide slide deck templates.
Creating Slide Templates

This can be from a PDF, Google Slides, PPT or an asset you've already uploaded to the Dock library.

Personalizing Slides with Variables
Do you want reps to customize the slides themselves? You can add in image & advanced variables to Google Slides and PowerPoints. This allows them to edit certain components.
Review the articles below for guidance:
Updating Slide Templates
You can update slide templates at any time. This will update the content in any presentations the reps have created, with some exceptions:
Slides with dynamic variables the reps have adjusted will not update
The rep can change the order of the slides. Updates made to the slides will not revert/adjust that order.
Adding net-new slides to a presentation will not reflect in active in-flight presentations.
