The Stacked layout lets you layer multiple content elements — like titles, charts, images, and more — vertically within a single content block. It's a great way to group related content and keep your slides organized and visually structured.

Add a Stacked layout

To get started, open the slide where you want to add the layout. On the right-hand panel, click the Add a content block icon. A menu will appear showing all available layout types.

Select Stacked from the options. The layout will be placed directly onto your slide, ready for you to add elements inside it.

Add your first element

Once the Stacked layout is on your slide, you can start adding elements inside it. To add a title, for example, click the Add a text icon from the right panel. A text field will appear inside the Stacked layout block.

Type your desired title text directly into the field. In this example, the title "Impact in Numbers" was added. You can format the text using the toolbar at the top — adjust the font size, style, color, and more.

Select the chart type you want — for example, Vertical bar. The chart will be placed inside the Stacked layout, directly below the title element.

Keep stacking more elements

You're not limited to just two elements. You can keep adding more content — text, images, videos, additional charts — by dragging them into the Stacked layout block.

This makes the Stacked layout ideal for building rich, structured content sections without cluttering your slide with multiple separate blocks.
