# How to Redesign Your Existing Presentation with Decktopus

Learn how to upload an existing presentation and let Decktopus refresh its visual design while keeping your content and structure intact.

If your presentation content is already in good shape but the design feels outdated or inconsistent, the Redesign option lets you give it a new look without touching the text or structure. Decktopus keeps everything you've written and applies a fresh visual style on top.  

**Getting Started**

1.  Go to your dashboard and click **Create with AI**

2.  Click the paperclip icon on the prompt screen to attach your file

4.  Optionally, add instructions to guide the new design, for example "use blue accent colors" or "create a cleaner layout." You can also leave this blank and let the AI decide  
    
5.  Click **Redesign my presentation** to continue

## **Choosing a Style**

You will then be asked how the presentation should be styled. If you have created presentations before, your previously used styles will appear as ready-to-pick options. You can also select **Import from website with AI** to apply your brand automatically, or choose **Create style with AI** to let the AI handle the design entirely.  

## **After Generation**

Once the redesigned presentation is ready, you land in the editor. Your original text and structure are preserved, and you can make any final adjustments using Edit with AI or Edit Text. When you are done, download as PDF or PPT, or present directly from the editor.  

That's all!
