Arranging slides

Arrange mode gives you a bird's-eye view of your presentation so you can quickly reorder, group, hide, or remove slides. Open it with the Arrange slides button in the editor sidebar or press Esc.

Reorder slides

Drag a slide to a new position. An insertion marker shows where it will be placed when you release it.

  • Drop a slide to the left or right of another slide to place it in the horizontal sequence.
  • Drop it above or below another slide to create or reorder a vertical stack.

Learn more about how these stacks work in Vertical slides.

Work with multiple slides

Select slides to apply an action to all of them. Hold Shift while selecting to include the slides between your previous and current selection.

Drag any selected slide to move the selection together. The toolbar at the top also lets you remove the selected slides, toggle their visibility, or clear the selection.

Use the slide options

Hover over a slide to reveal its actions. You can jump directly to the slide, remove it, or toggle whether it is hidden from viewers. Vertical stacks also include an option for selecting and dragging the full stack.
