Copilot in PowerPoint: Designer and brand templates

How Copilot in PowerPoint decides what a generated deck looks like — Designer, your template, the asset library — and how to stop off-brand slides.

The three layers

Designer's layout logic, the template open at prompt time, and the organisation asset library together decide what a Copilot deck looks like.

Start from the template

Open your corporate template, then ask Copilot. A blank file gives Microsoft's default theme plus whatever Designer decides — the single biggest lever on output.

The organisation asset library

A SharePoint library set up via Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary. It surfaces the corporate template in PowerPoint's Organization tab and gives Copilot on-brand images.

Making a template Copilot-friendly

Complete, sensibly named layouts with real placeholders, theme-level fonts and colours, and a few image-heavy layouts — one template, not ten variants.

Create from file

Copilot can build a deck from a Word doc or PDF. A well-structured source plus the corporate template gives a usable draft; a wall of text plus a blank file doesn't.

What still goes wrong

Off-brand stock images, layout drift when a slide is added mid-deck, and occasional colour shifts from a Designer variant. A Reset Slide usually fixes it.
