Custom Shapes & Groups

Select the custom shapes & groups and insert them to the active slide. View on YouTube.

Update your own library URL (my library was used by default)

Create custom shapes and groups in your own Google Slides library. The add-on will use the “Title” in the “Alt Text” settings, so you will need to assign a proper title for your custom shape. For groups, the add-on will use one of the shapes in the group which has been titled(So you only need to do it for one element in the group). View on YouTube.

Grid Shapes

Insert shapes with a grid layout to the presentation by using rows and columns. When there is no element selected on the page, the size of the presentation will be used. When there is an element selected, the size of the element will be used for the next insert action (“Margin to Page” will be ignored and the selected element will be deleted). View on YouTube.
