Creating presentation templates

A template is a presentation with a predefined look and contains default text, layouts, and even animations. Templates are often used as a basis for presentations, especially in the 2019 version, as there are many professional animated effects available. They are created to suit the needs of the user and are often a quick way to get things done!
