If your current SmartArt graphics don’t quite convey the message or look you want, you can use live preview (New!) to quickly preview layouts in the Quick Styles (New!) and Layout Styles (New!) groups and select the one you want. If you only want to change the color, you can choose different color schemes using theme colors by using the Change Color button (New!). If the flow of a SmartArt graphic is not the direction you want, you can change the orientation.
