Updates to Google Slides

Google has announced some exciting upgrades to Google Slides.  More information can be found on this GSuites blog site.

1. Quickly add items from Google Keep by dragging and dropping items into Slides.

  • Google Keep allows you to keep notes and links in a handy collection of lists. You can even share these lists with others to make a collaborative checklist. 
  • Now Keep is integrated into Google slides! (Click Tools-->Keep Notepad)
  • Drag an item from Keep to Slides, and a slide is quickly created and formated for you.



2. Link slides from different slideshows (and update all at once).

  • By linking slides from multiple slideshows together, you can save time updating.
  • Update the slide in one presentation, and that same slide is automatically updated in any linked presentation.

3. Add-ons now available in Slides.
  • Add-ons have been part of Docs, Sheets and Forms in the past. They are now available in Slides as well!
  • Add-ons give you additional functionality like quickly searching for royalty-free images as well as connecting to third party products like Lucid Charts and Pear Deck.

4. Additional new features:
  • Insert diagrams

  • Select grid view to see thumbnails of all your slides at once (like PowerPoint).

  • Skip slide feature (Hide a slide without deleting it! Great for your embedded slideshows or customizing presentations.) Just right click on a thumbnail and choose "Skip Slide."
