Now it’s easier to paint

Here’s a press release from Google on a new use of the paintbrush tool

in Google Slides.  It will now be simpler to copy format from one object to another.

Copy formatting to multiple objects in Google Slides We’re making it easier to copy formatting from one object (like a block of text or a shape) to multiple others in Google Slides. Previously, you could use the paint format tool to copy formatting from one object to another, but you’d need to reclick it every time you wanted to apply it to a new object. Now, you can simply double-click the tool icon to enter “persistent” mode and apply that formatting to multiple objects in a slide. Just re-click the icon or tap Escape on your keyboard to stop.
