Review notes

  • Source content appears to be a product update, not a pure collaboration/admin workflow. The rewrite keeps the collaboration/admin framing conservative and focuses on access and team impact where supported.
  • No direct admin-only actions are described in the source. Permissions are limited to the stated license requirements for certain templates.

Summary

In December 2021, Powtoon added a new layout package called Cosmic, several professionally designed video templates, and a new set of Gradient Backgrounds in Powtoon Studio.

Permissions or access

  • Anyone with access to Powtoon Studio can use the new layouts and backgrounds if they are available in their account.
  • The following templates require a Pro+ or Agency license:
    • Kudos Video Template (square format)
    • Annual Goals
    • Employee Knowledge Transfer
    • Our Results Video Template

Steps

  1. Open Powtoon Studio.
  2. Browse the available pre-made scenes or templates.
  3. Select the Cosmic layout package to use the new layout options in your presentation.
  4. Open the template you want to use:
    • Kudos Video Template (square format)
    • Annual Goals
    • Employee Knowledge Transfer
    • Our Results Video Template
  5. If the template requires a Pro+ or Agency license, confirm that your account has the required access before you continue.
  6. To use the new backgrounds, go to Color Backgrounds in the Studio.
  7. Select one of the new Gradient Backgrounds and apply it to your design.

Team impact

  • Shared teams can use the new templates to standardize common business updates, recognition, onboarding handovers, and results presentations.
  • If a teammate does not have the required license, they will not be able to use the licensed templates.
  • Background changes affect the look of the video or presentation asset the collaborator is editing.
