When you have a Google Slides presentation with a lot of slides inside it, you need a way to navigate
through that particular slideshow.
That's what I'm going to show you right now.
So I've loaded up a slide show I did earlier for a different course I was creating on typography and
you'll notice on the left hand side of the screen we've got in this particular Google Slides document
12 separate slides.
You can see the thumbnails for each of them.
We can navigate through them simply by clicking on the individual slide.
We want to load into the edit area.
If I want to add an additional slide to our slideshow, I'm going to select the slide where I want it
to be added, I can then go to slide and choose new slide.
You'll notice that there is a keyboard shortcut control m.
It will add a new slide directly after the slide that was selected.
If I want to change where any slide is located in the slideshow, I can simply drag it from the old
location to the new location.
If I wanted to lead a slide, I can select the slide and control, click or right click on it, and
you'll notice there is an option for deleting the slide right here.
I also like to create new slides through duplication.
Let's say, for example, I was going to create another slide similar to this one.
So instead of starting over with a blank slide, I'm going to control click or right click.
And I'm going to choose duplicate slide notice that creates a second version of the same slide.
I can now make alterations to the second version of the slide.
And now I have two similar slides, but I didn't have to recreate the initial slide.
I don't need the slide, my slide show.
So again, I'm going to select it and I'm going to choose Delete.
Now, when you move into presentation mode, the slides will be shown in your presentation in the order
that they appear in ending mode.
So you're going to want to make sure they're in the right order.
Sometimes you might not want to slide to be part of a particular presentation.
You can also hide slides so they're not visible in presentation mode.
I'll do that by selecting the Live.
And then if I right click or control, click, I can choose.
Skip Slide.
Now notice the slide is great out here on the left, and it's also got that icon with the line through
the eye on it.
Now I can still access it here in editing mode, but if I went into presentation mode.
Notice the third slide here.
Went to present, we go directly from slide number one to slide number three, the hidden slide isn't
shown in presentation mode.
I can leave presentation mode by pressing escape.
If I want to untie the slide, it's as simple as control clicking or right clicking on the slide again
and removing the checkmark from a skip slide option.
This feature is especially useful if you have to make the same presentation to two different groups,
and let's say some of your slides are only relevant to one of those groups.
You could simply hide the irrelevant slides when you made the presentation, and therefore you could
use the singular slide file.
Each time you made that presentation makes sense.
It's kind of a cool feature that's designed to make your life easier.
