How To Add Stickers And Shapes To A Slide?

Stickers and shapes are yours to place anywhere on a slide: a star to draw the eye, an arrow pointing at a number, a badge on a picture.

Steps

Add one

Open the Design tab and pick Stickers. Click a shape (Rectangle, Circle, Triangle, Star, Line or Arrow) or one of the stickers. It lands in the middle of the slide you’re on, in your design’s accent color, on top of everything, and is selected.

Stickers and shapes live in freeform, so the slide switches to freeform if it isn’t already. Switch the slide back and they’re put away; switch to freeform again and they come back where you left them.

Move, size and turn it

Drag it to move it, drag its handles to size it, and turn it with the rotation handle, as with anything else in freeform. To put it behind or in front of other elements, use the layer order.

Change its colors

Select it on the slide, then under Stickers set its Color. A shape can also have an Outline, with its Outline width, and a rectangle its Corners.

Remove it

Select it and press Delete, or click Remove under Stickers.

Tip: In a video, stickers and shapes animate like anything else: with Video open in the left menu, click one on the slide, or its name in the timeline under the canvas. See Animate elements.
