5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving, by the processing device, a user selection of one or more dependencies associated with the master element.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting, in the user interface, a third option and a fourth option, wherein the third option allows a user to request update of a first master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide, and the fourth option allows the user to request update of a second master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modification of the element of the first non-master slide is not associated with the theme or a master element.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the element of the first non-master slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option has a dependent relationship with a master element of the presentation; and

presenting, in the user interface, a third option to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to the master element of the presentation.

9. A system to update a theme element of a presentation comprising a master slide and one or more non-master slides, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a user interface on a client computer of a user, the user interface comprising a first non-master slide of the one or more non-master slides of the presentation and a first option to edit an element of the first non-master slide;

receiving a user selection of the first option to edit the element of the first non-master slide, wherein the user selection of the first option comprises a request to modify the element of the first non-master slide;

causing the element of the first non-master slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option;

receiving a user selection of a second option in the user interface to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to a theme of the presentation;

in response to receiving the user selection of the second option to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to the theme of the presentation, causing the theme element corresponding to the element of the first non-master slide to be updated based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide; and

causing the modification of the element of the first non-master slide to be automatically propagated to elements of other slides of the presentation that are associated with the theme.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first option or the second option is an entry in a context menu displayed in the user interface.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the theme element is a master element.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the master element provides for at least one of a certain format applied to one or more elements of the presentation, a certain font type of one or more elements of the presentation, or a certain size of one or more elements of the presentation.

13. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising receiving, by the processor, a user selection of one or more dependencies associated with the master element.

14. The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising presenting, in the user interface, a third option and a fourth option, wherein the third option allows a user to request update of a first master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide, and the fourth option allows the user to request update of a second master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the modification of the element of the first non-master slide is not associated with the theme or a master element.

16. The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

determining that the element of the first non-master slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option has a dependent relationship with a master element of the presentation; and

presenting, in the user interface, a third option to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to the master element of the presentation.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium with instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations to update a theme element of a presentation comprising a master slide and one or more non-master slides, the operations comprising:

causing display of a user interface on a client computer of a user, the user interface comprising a first non-master slide of the one or more non-master slides of the presentation and a first option to edit an element of the first non-master slide;

receiving a user selection of the first option to edit the element of the first non-master slide, wherein the user selection of the first option comprises a request to modify the element of the first non-master slide;

causing the element of the first non-master slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option;

receiving a user selection of a second option in the user interface to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to a theme of the presentation;

in response to receiving the user selection of the second option to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to the theme of the presentation, causing the theme element corresponding to the element of the first non-master slide to be updated based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide; and

causing the modification of the element of the first non-master slide to be automatically propagated to elements of other slides of the presentation that are associated with the theme.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the first option or the second option is an entry in a context menu displayed in the user interface.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the theme element is a master element that provides for at least one of a certain format applied to one or more elements of the presentation, a certain font type of one or more elements of the presentation, or a certain size of one or more elements of the presentation.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising presenting, in the user interface, a third option and a fourth option, wherein the third option allows a user to request update of a first master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide, and the fourth option allows the user to request update of a second master element of the presentation based on the modification of the element of the first non-master slide.

21. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:

determining that the element of the first non-master slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option has a dependent relationship with the master element of the presentation; and

presenting, in the user interface, a third option to apply the modification to the element of the first non-master slide to the master element of the presentation.
