v2.59.819 August 2026

More precise decks, from template to export

This release gives Template Studio more control over content columns and helps AI follow those layouts. Table editing is more direct, while PDF exports add progress updates, selectable text, and closer visual matching.

Highlights

  • Template-aware AI

    Choose content columns in Template Studio, and AI-created slides follow the saved content areas and columns.

  • Searchable PDF exports

    PDF exports now show progress while they are prepared and include text that readers can select and search.

  • More direct tables

    Select and drag table frames directly, then erase borders with a dedicated table tool.

  • Steadier text editing

    Undo and redo typing in sensible bursts without losing your place in the text.
