If you'd like to quickly add slide layouts without needing to design them, you can click the **Add Slides/Charts** button at the bottom of your slides list, make sure the **Slide Layouts** tab is selected, and then click on any slide layout thumbnail to add it to your Figma page as a Figma Component automatically.

## Setting global text and color styles for your layout components

When you use the slide layout feature, the plugin will automatically create a _Pitchdeck_ folder under your Figma _Text styles_ and _Color styles_ menus, where you can tweak the typography and color styles for the slides and text layers added via the slide layouts feature in one go.

## Adding new Instances of your Master Slide components

Under the same **Add Slides/Charts** panel, clicking on the **Master Slides** tab will allow you quickly see all of the Master Slides (Figma _Component_ Layers) on your page as thumbnails, and click on any to add it as a new Figma _Instance_ slide layer on your page.

## Converting existing slide Frames in Figma to re-useable Slide Components

The **Master Slides** tab also supports any slide Figma Components that you've added to the page yourself; to convert any existing Figma Frames into Figma Components that can be re-used as instances from the plugin, right-click on your Figma Frame, then click **Create Component** in the context menu.

If you then click the **Refresh Component Slides** in the plugin under the **Master Slides** tab, you'll be able to quickly add new instances of your slide components to the page.
