Edit Paragraphs within Grouped Shapes Introduction This article shows you how to format and edit paragraphs within a grouped shape using Aspose.Slides Cloud API in your applications. UpdateParagraph method has an optional subShape parameter that allows to specify path to the sub-shape that contains the target pararaph. The sub-shape path is a string that contains shape index (e.g., “1”) or a path in case of more than one level of grouping (e.g. “1/shapes/1”).
Examples MyFolder/MyPresentation.pptx document contains a group shape of two shapes at index 3 on the first slide. Set italic style for the fifth paragraph in the second shape inside the group shape.

SDKs Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Slides Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
