Abstract

A new design is applied to a slide. A search is made within layouts associated with the new design for an equivalent layout to the slide's layout. When an equivalent layout is found, the placeholders are mapped from the slide to a new slide base on the equivalent layout. An equivalent layout is determined based on a comparison between the slide's layout and the new design. The comparison is based on the name of the layouts, the number of placeholders, and whether the placeholders are of an equivalent type.
