A system is configured to automatically enhance user content by dynamically generating alternative layouts given an original layout of the user content. The alternative layouts are generated based on determined roles for a number of different content elements on a canvas and/or detected semantic relationships between content elements. Once the alternative layouts are generated, the system can evaluate the alternative layouts and assign a score to each of the alternative layouts. The system can then identify recommended alternative layouts that are suitable for a particular purpose (e.g., a professional presentation, a teaching lesson, etc.), and provide the recommended alternative layouts for display on a device of a user.

Automatic generation of alternative content layouts
