ADDING TEXT

Click on placeholder text box and add in your own content. You can still freely move around text box or resize as you wish

ADDING IMAGES OR REPLACING IMAGES

Drag and drop your image file into the grey placeholde OR click on icon in the grey placeholder and select your desired image
Adjust Image: Click on Image and select the first symbol on the left and resize and readjust.
Replace an image: Click on the pre-existing image and delete. The grey placeholder box should appear again and then drag and drop in your new image

EDITING FOOTER

Edit Footer: View > Header and Footer. Replace text under footer and click ‘Apply to All’
Remove Footer: View > Header and Footer. Untick Slide Number and Footer and click ‘Apply to All’

DUPLICATE, REARRANGE & DELETE PAGES

Duplicate Pages: Right click on any page template and select 'Duplicate Slide’
Rearrange Pages: Click and hold page and drag to rearrange order
Delete Pages: Right click on any page and select 'Delete Slide'

*I do not recommend using 'new slides' feature as some elements do not appear*

COMPRESS & SAVE AS PDF

Compress File: File> Reduce File Size > Select 'OK’. I choose 200ppi but if i’m using high quality large stock photos the file size still might be quite large even after I compress it so then I select 150ppi
Save as ebook: File > Save As > Select PDF next to Format: > Save

ADDING CLICKABLE LINKS TO YOUR EBOOK

It's very simple to add clickable links into your ebook once you have saved your final PDF. Links are perfect to add to your connect with me page to make it easier for your reader to visit your social media handles or your final call out text. We also have our T3 Ebook Template that includes buttons throughout the ebook (this is great for affiliate links).

I love using sejda.com/pdf-editor
Click "Upload PDF file"
Select the Link Tool and drag a box over buttons or social media text.
After you finish click save at the bottom and then download!

EDITING MASTER SLIDE

You may notice a few elements that can not be selected or move on the page these elements can only be edited in the Master Slide (which is like the backend of the template) It’s very simple to access.

Click on the Theme Tab and then the 'Edit Master’ button
Then you can move, resize or change colour of any elements you wish
After you finish click “Close’
Then you should see your changes have been made

CHANGING COLORS TO ELEMENTS

Double click on the coloured shape
Click on Fill and then choose desired color. If you find that you can’t select a certain object then refer to the step above in 'Editing in Master Slide'
