When a template uses full-bleed layouts, decks created from the template should also use full-bleed layouts.

I have a template that is created with a full-bleed layout. When I have Gammas that are generated from that template, they follow the template - Except for the layout. Then I have to manually change every slide to "full bleed" and it's tedious and annoying. It should just adhere to the template. The agent similarly cannot change the cards to full-bleed. It would be nice to reliably do this, via template and / or in bulk.

Totally hear you, that sounds super tedious. Thanks for the clear writeup, I’ll pass this along to the team.
Quick couple questions so we can scope it right:
1) When you create a deck from that template, do any cards come in full-bleed or is it always defaulting away from full-bleed on every card?
2) For the “bulk” fix, would you want a one-click “apply template layout to all cards” action, or a setting on the template like “force full-bleed for all new cards” (or both)?

Nik Payne (Gamma design) Hi Nik, thanks for getting back to me!
- Every card in the template is set to full-bleed, but No card that comes through a Gamma generated via template is actually full-bleed. (I'm creating them via API if that makes a difference? I'm guessing it must.)
- Now that I'm thinking of it, bulk-fix may not make sense here! Because if you're just bulk "hey apply the template that we already created and that this gamma was created from" that doesn't make a lot of sense. I guess I was thinking of like how there are some bulk actions if you select and right-click. https://cdn.zappy.app/0f66d61f2b3d451f935a182fb097ce55.png But maybe some sort of bulk-format option would apply fixes to all cards beyond something like this, so could be multi-use. Like apply a change to one card, and then select all the other cards and effectively get to say, "Apply change here too".
I hope this helps!
