Summary

A Slide Master slide is a slide that is the master of all slides in look and feel. This look and feel may include a custom presentation of font, colors, contrast, effects, backgrounds, pictures or logos, placeholders, footers, titles, page numbers and more.

Adding custom slide layouts through the slide master is critical for screen reader accessibility because ONLY text fields added in a slide master are read out in a screen reader. Manually inserted text fields may be skipped by a screen reader. Slide masters also allow for consistent formatting between slides.
