Manage slides, backgrounds and guides
Organize your presentation and build a consistent slide frame.
Read as MarkdownAdd, duplicate and reorder
Add a slide from the slide controls and choose a starting layout. Select a slide in the left navigation to edit it. Duplicate one to reuse a composition, or drag its entry to change the order. Delete a slide only when you no longer need its content; check any interactions that target it afterward.
A presentation supports up to 100 slides. Steps are states inside a slide, not additional slides. Each slide supports Base plus 24 Steps.
Change the background
Select the slide background and open its appearance settings. Choose a solid color or gradient. Gradient controls offer presets, two to eight stops, stop positions and direction/radial choices. Slide backgrounds do not accept transparent gradient stops.
Choose a theme swatch to keep the background linked to the theme, or a custom color to keep it fixed. A Step can have its own background state. See themes and Steps.
Use guides and snapping
Enable guides while editing to help place content consistently. Adjust divisions and guide opacity. Canvas snapping helps align to the grid; element snapping shows alignment with other content. Square snapping helps keep proportions while resizing.
Guides help author the composition; they are not presentation content. Zoom and scroll belong to the workspace rather than a saved slide layout.
Check the frame
All slides share the 1920 × 1080, 16:9 canvas. Leave enough margin around text and test at playback size. Off-canvas content is clipped during presentation and export.
