Slide Masters are where the style and design elements in a template are stored.
They are sometimes thought of as "hidden" slides. That is, the master contains all of the elements you want to appear on every slide that the master is applied to, but the master itself will not be visible during your presentation.
Any changes you make to a master are reflected in any slide to which that master has been applied. Using masters makes it quick and easy to change design elements across a series of slides. For instance, you may want to put a logo in the lower left hand corner of each slide. Instead of the time-consuming task of doing this one slide at a time, you can simply add it to the slide master.
Elements such as the footprint picture above cannot be deleted, moved, or manipulated on the individual slides, only on the slide master. A slide master task pane will open to the left of your presentation. This pane contains all of the master slides in the document. Select a master to edit it. You can edit a master the same way you edit an ordinary slide, just remember that any change you make to it will also appear in each slide that it's applied to. You can change the background color, add or remove elements, change font styles, etc.
The slide master view toolbar will also open. This is a floating toolbar that looks like this:. From the toolbar you can add new slide masters and title masters, remove them, rename them, or preserve them.

PowerPoint does this sometimes when you delete all the slides that follow the master or apply another design template to all of the following slides. To keep this from happening, select a slide and click the Preserve Master button in the toolbar.
Just remember that you can still manually delete a master that has been preserved. The master layout button in the toolbar shows you all the placeholders that appear on the master.
