📌 Why this matters
Changing shapes saves you from rebuilding elements when your design direction shifts. You preserve all your careful formatting work — colors, borders, effects, and positioning — while experimenting with different visual styles. This becomes invaluable during collaborative projects when feedback leads to multiple revisions, or when you're A/B testing different presentation approaches. Rather than starting over each time you want to try a triangle instead of a rectangle, you can iterate quickly and see how various shapes affect your slide's visual hierarchy and message clarity.
