Add a New Slide

Slides are the main component of any presentation. They contain the information you're showing to the audience, such as text, pictures, charts, and tables. Before you add any content to a slide, it contains placeholders, which are areas with dotted borders that you can fill with various kinds of content(text, picture, shape, etc). When you add a new slide to your presentation, it automatically assumes the same layout and theme as the preceding slide (a layout is an arrangement of elements on the slide). You can also create your own Custom Layouts. By default, the first slide in your presentation will use the Title Slide layout, which contains a Title placeholder and a Subtitle placeholder. When you add a slide beneath a title slide, it will use the Title and Contents layout.

To add a new slide,

1. Go to Slides pane and choose a location to add new slide using any of the following ways:

• Click the + SLIDE button in the upper left.
  
• Right-click where you want to put the slide and select New Slide from the dropdown menu.
  
• Press Enter on your keyboard.
  
  
  

           

2. You will see the new slide inserted and follows the slide layout of your previous slides in the list.

You can change to a different layout that suits your content anytime.  

3. Click any placeholder in the slide to add your content, or use the thumbnail icons to insert pictures, videos, and tweets.

You can decorate your slide further by adding text boxes, pictures, shapes, and format your slide the way you want. Learn how to insert objects and how to format a slide.
