You can open up the Smart Bar by pressing on CTRL + SPACE. It allows you to search hundreds of formatting functions to use without having to memorize anything.

If you prefer shortcuts, you can notice little characters on the right side of each function. These are the keyboard shortcuts for each of these functions.

Here are some auxi shortcuts! And keep in mind, almost all features have their own shortcuts.

To change your slide colors and make them match, hit Q on your keyboard for Fix Slide Colors.

BEFORE: Slide colors do not match with PPT file's theme colors.

AFTER: All your slide’s colors are automatically changed to be theme colors.

1. Look up Agenda Settings in the Smart Bar. You can change all colors, fonts, sizes, positions and other characteristics in one place.

2. If you like these settings so much that you want to save them and use them in the future, you can literally do that! Press on the refresh button for a preview of how your new agenda slide will look like and press on Update Slides if ready to apply the changes.

• You can save a slide to use later by hitting \ on your keyboard.

• To populate the slide, hit ;

This comes in handy when you have a slide you are really proud of and want to use in the future!

Yes, you can! Here's how:

1. Select all the shapes you want inside your matrix, open the Smart Bar, then type and select Align Matrix.

2. A grid will pop up. This will help you decide on the final layout to fit your content. Feel free to choose from column or row configurations of N x N matrices. All up to you.

3. You can also use the keyboard shortcut to apply this command by hitting A + X.

AFTER

Inside your PPT file, select the slides you are interested in, then search for Email Slides in the Smart Bar or the auxi ribbon. You can also choose between PDF and PPT format.

Sure. Take this example:

• Hit P on your keyboard to add a pentagon, then C to add a couple chevrons.

• Then, select all your items and hit A + P to Align Process.

• Lastly, hit T to add textboxes over each item of your process.

BEFORE

AFTER

1. Hit L on your keyboard or type Translate into the Smart Bar.

2. Choose out of more than 50 languages to translate from and to, then start the translation!

This feature supports all types of slides, including charts, tables, frameworks, and even third-party add-in charts, while making sure to flip the direction of slide content if the language necessitates that (e.g. English to Arabic).

​The Recommendations​ feature uses machine learning models to recommend previously built slides that would fit your content, and automatically populates them when selected.

​

​e.g. This slide starts with non presentable content. All content is there, but you still need to spend time editing the slide. Recommendations suggests completed formats, and auto builds the slide accordingly. ​

Machine learning suggests completed layouts on the right, based on your slide content.

It autocompletes and formats your slide based on current content and previously built slides. ​

Fix Slide Colors automatically changes all your slide’s colors to be theme colors. To use this feature, hit Q on your keyboard or use the Smart Bar to find it.

Now if you want to change the results or do it in bulk, we would recommend using Edit Colors instead. It allows you to choose to edit colors of a slide, a slide range or all your presentation. You can find it in the Smart Bar.

If the Recommendations feature is unable to find the best matches to your slide, it might be because there are not enough slide examples available on our server.

Please contact <support@auxi.ai> and we will work on uploading more templates to improve Recommendations predictions.

If you would like auxi to choose a layout for you in a specific type of slide, or know exactly what you want, TB is an assisted search that allows you to find slides that work with your content and convey the message you want to send.

Check out the following example for better understanding:

When you choose team slide, auxi knows that you are looking for a team of 2 layout.

If you didn’t find what you are looking for or want something specific, you can add filters to your search to make it more precise.

The auxi add-in needs a stable internet connection to work well. If the features in the PPT banner are off, check your internet connection, or restart PPT if your connection looked fine.

Good question! Cause yes, you can. And this feature will save you so much time!

Here’s how:

1. Select your shapes.

2. Hit A + Z to Align Central. You can also find Align Central in the Smart Bar.

3. Decrease or increase the radius as you wish.

Imagine the frustration you have to go through while trying to make space in a 4 column slide to add a 5th one. Circles becoming ovals, icons looking all weird and thin. Disaster.

But guess what? auxi will add a whole element to your selection, and make sure the remaining elements are taken care of. Here's how:

1. Select your columns and find the Add Column or Delete Column commands using the Smart Bar.

2. You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:

   1. Ctrl + 2 for Add Column

   2. Alt + 2 for Delete Column
