Batch Editing is a feature that enables you to make large scale changes to your Powtoon with a single action.
Currently, only background color can be batch edited.

You can change the background color on a single slide, and have that change effect every other slide where the same background color was used.
Changing the Background color
- On the stage, select the slide with the background you want to change
- Click on
- Select the Color Picker
- Select the new color, and click "Apply to matching colors.

In this example, every slide with a purple background will be replaced with a green background
Note: It will take a few seconds until the slide thumbnails on the left side are updated with the new changes.
