title: Getting Started on Your Build
description: "Themes determine the look and feel of your presentation; things like default colors of lines and borders, default background images, and default font style. Each theme has its own colors, fonts, and images, but there’s flexibility here, too! Along the way you’ll be able to edit everything to fit your branding, regardless of the theme you chose."

# Getting Started on Your Build

myiDecide gives you four ways to start a presentation: build from scratch, start from a template, upload a PowerPoint, or have our design team build it for you.

## Start from Scratch

A blank canvas. Best if you already know what you want and a blank screen does not intimidate you.

## Pre-made Presentation Template

Pick a template you like and customize it. The fastest route to something that looks finished, and the easiest way to learn where everything lives. Every detail is 100% editable.

## Upload a PowerPoint

Already have a deck? Upload it and the myiDecide Builder converts it into a myiDecide presentation. A success message appears when it is ready to edit. From there you can change anything and add the interactive pieces that make it an iDecide.

TIP: We recommend removing large videos for the initial PowerPoint upload, then upload them directly in myiDecide when it's done importing.

## Premium Upgrades

Don't want to build it yourself? Premium Upgrades is where you purchase iDecide Custom and our design team builds it for you on the myiDecide platform.

## Coming back to a presentation

Click the iDecide logo in the top left of the builder at any time, to get back to your presentations list.

**Tip:** If this is your first build, start from a template even if you plan to replace every slide. You will learn where everything lives far faster than you would staring at a blank canvas.
