4. In the Theme Editor, remove any unwanted templates from the Theme Templates menu.
   
   
   
    
5. Add new template pages using Existing Pages, or accessing the PowerPoint file you recently uploaded. 
   
   
   
   Use the Slide options at the bottom of the window to create new Slides using existing templates in Create. 
   
    
6. Once all template pages have been added, check the Slide Accent Colors in the Theme tab, and adjust as necessary using brand standards for your organization.
