AI Output Quality Tip
Gemini Canvas does more than just 'copy-paste' text; it performs information 'restructuring'. Ensure your original document has a clear structure (such as headings and subheadings) so the AI can divide the slides more logically.
Canvas Feature Availability
The Canvas feature is being rolled out gradually. If you don't see the 'Canvas' option in the 'Tools' menu yet, it likely hasn't been activated for your account or region at this time.
Benefits of Direct Export
Use the 'Export to Slides' button to instantly convert the AI's work into a fully editable Google Slides format, making it easy to adjust fonts or colors to match your company branding later.
