The fact that SmartArt allows so much customization in PowerPoint 2010 by applying new colors or styles means that your SmartArt graphic may be not quite the same as PowerPoint’s default offering — in addition, you may have resized or moved individual shapes within the SmartArt graphic, and there’s no real undo for any of these options once you save and close your presentation file. If you do have the need to undo all of the customizations, you can do so by restoring the default layout and colors of the entire SmartArt graphic using the Reset option.

SmartArt is a great new feature that Microsoft added in PowerPoint — yet many users want to convert their SmartArt graphic to bulleted text, or even to individual editable shapes that can be manipulated further. Yes, you can convert SmartArt to individual shapes, but do remember that this is a one-way process, and you lose any editability for the SmartArt graphic from that point of time. However, converting to shapes does mean that you have complete control over moving, resizing, deleting, or formatting the individual shapes.
