Google Slides - Share a Slide instead of Pasting It
There are many times I have to share the same information to 2 different audiences, which means I spend time copying and pasting slides from one slide show to another.
Now, with Google Slides, you can actually "share" a slide from one show to the other...so when you update the information on that slide, it can be simply refreshed on the other slides shows. This is slick! Additionally, you get the option as to if the connected slides match the theme on your original show OR match the theme in your current show.
Here's how -
Copy the slides on your existing show (control+C on PC or command+C on Mac):
Go to the slideshow that you want to add the slides to - if it already has multiple slides, click where you want to add the slides:
Paste the slides in (control+V on PC or command+V on Mac). When it pastes it in, you will have the link options pop up - decide if you want the slides linked (so it can be updated when editing the original slides) or not linked (just a normal paste in):
If you select to link the slides, an icon appears in the upper right corner of the linked slide:
You have several choices from this - you can Update the information on the slide to match any changes on the original, Unlink the slide from the original, or Open the source to view the original slideshow:
You also have another icon appear in the corner of the top slide you
added to choose if you want to keep the formatting from the original
slideshow on these slides, or if you want them to match the destination
formatting where you are adding them:
