How to Copy Shapes in Google Slides
Walk through this interactive demo to learn how to copy shapes in Google Slides.
📌 Why this matters
Copying shapes lets you maintain visual consistency across slides without recreating elements from scratch. You can duplicate complex graphics, icons, or styled text boxes in seconds rather than rebuilding them. This becomes especially powerful when working with branded elements or intricate designs that need to appear throughout your presentation. Beyond saving time, copied shapes retain their exact formatting, colors, and effects, ensuring your slides look polished and professional while eliminating the risk of inconsistent styling that often happens when manually recreating similar elements.
