How to Use It
Introduce a concise agenda with the title and introduction on one side and the parts of the talk beside them. Use Agenda for detailed entries that need the full slide width.
Preview + source
Explore this layout
Keep a short agenda beside the opening message; use Agenda when the entries need the full width.
All people, quotations and business figures in these examples are illustrative.
This prepared preview and the OPF describe the same example. Region outlines show measured allocation; toggling them does not change the slide.
Inspect compact default-catalog references. Your host must register the matching catalog; source identifies it without fetching over the network. Copy always includes complete embedded records.

Regions, in reading order
This layout is one list of 2 regions, declared once. The list runs as a row; a split nests a list that runs the other way. Each size is a share of its parent’s width (row) or height (column).
Schematic of the list: each box is drawn in proportion to its size; an auto entry gets a fixed band. Dashed boxes are heading regions.
Row, side by side, left to right. No anchor is written on the layout: body regions start at the top unless they set their own.
