Quick summary
Google Slides does not have a native column feature, but you can add columns by selecting a multi-column slide layout from the toolbar's layout drop-down. This method lets you organize content side-by-side in seconds without any third-party tools.
Steps
- Click the drop-down arrow in the toolbar to see your available layout options.
- Browse the available layouts and select a column layout, such as "Title and two columns", to apply it to your slide.
- Once the column structure is applied, click into any column area to start adding your content.
- Your column layout is now active — organize content side-by-side for better visual flow.
