How to get started with SlideHub as an admin

SlideHub gives your teams one place to find and reuse the content your company has already approved, so people start from what exists instead of rebuilding it. Your job in setup is to put that loop in place: maintain the approved content, make it easy to find, let people tailor and share it, then review what actually gets used.

You can watch this video and find in detail all of the things you can do for your team:

1) Determine what would be most important for you and your company

Consider defining a success goal for your company. This could be how much of your customer-facing material is reused from approved content rather than rebuilt, or how consistent that material is across teams. Having a success goal allows you to track if the product delivers value.

2) Log into your account as Manager or Account Owner.

If you already have an account, make sure you have Manager or Account Manager permissions, this will allow you to set up your company account faster.

3) Upload your approved company content for your teammates to use

As a manager you most likely have great content - this could be sales presentations, proposals, or a repository of best-practice slides. We suggest you add these slides to the “Company Slides”. This way your teammates start from content that is already approved, and they find it directly in PowerPoint instead of rebuilding something that already exists. You can see how to do this HERE

Slides and presentations are not the only content your teams reach for. Documents can be made available the same way, so people find the approved version of those too. See how documents and Word files work.

4) Set up your inspiration colors

Inspiration slides give your team ready-made layouts to fall back on when the company library does not already have an approved asset for what they need. To help speed this up, you can determine the colors the inspiration slides have when inserted into the presentation. You can see more details in this link. Link to article that shows how to do this

5) Determine users' permissions:

Not everyone will have the same permissions or roles as you. Select what each user will be able to see once they are inside of SlideHub. The below guide gives a brief introduction to each role.

Member: Will not edit or manage design or financial information. Just make use of the libraries and can use the design service if it's available.
Platform Only: Will not edit or manage design or financial information. Just make use of the libraries, but doesn't have access to the design service.
Accountant: Will see financial and billing information but will have no say over design material.
Gatekeeper: Will manage design content, but not financial information or handle users.
Manager: Has control to manage and see everything. Cannot delete the Account Owner.
Account Owner: Has all permissions.

6) Manage Images

You can add images from your own library or allow users to search among our Image Inspiration Library. You can see how to do this by clicking here.ttps://help.slidehub.io/en-us/article/how-to-manage-companys-images-wnyb6q/)

7) Icons and Illustrations

Just like with images, you can select which Illustrations and icons match your company’s guidelines best. You can even upload your own icons. If you wish to do this, we suggest you read this article.

Pro-tip: Allow full access early to allow users to test and limit access if team members go off-brand

Teams

Build teams and edit content for each one of them. This will allow you to have more control and manage material for different goals. If you would like to know more, we suggest you read this article.

9) Deploy it to your company

Create an onboarding strategy so that your company can start using SlideHub right away. We suggest using our IT Deployment methodology to save time. You can read more about it here.

Additionally, don't forget that you can use SSO (Single Sign On) to keep users in your SlideHub account synched with your organization's database.

10) Review what gets used and act on it

After the first month, go back to the success goal you set in step 1. The statistics overview shows how your teams are using SlideHub, and search-only tags let you close the gap between the words people search for and the labels on your content. You can follow the statistics of your team's SlideHub use and read how search only tags work.
