Hiding slides in a presentation can be useful for various reasons, such as creating a surprise reveal, organizing content for different audiences, or streamlining the presentation flow. This section will explain how to hide slides in commonly used presentation software.
The method for hiding slides varies slightly depending on the presentation software being used. The following outlines the process for Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides.
Open the presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.
In the left-hand pane, locate the slide you wish to hide.
Right-click on the slide thumbnail.
Select \"Hide Slide\" from the context menu.
To unhide a hidden slide, right-click on the slide number in the left-hand pane and select \"Unhide Slide\".
Open the presentation in Google Slides.
In the left-hand pane, locate the slide you wish to hide.
Right-click on the slide thumbnail.
Select \"Hide\" from the context menu.
To unhide a hidden slide, right-click on the slide number in the left-hand pane and select \"Unhide\".
While hiding slides can be useful, it's important to consider the following:
Ensure you remember which slides are hidden.
If presenting to an audience who are familiar with the presentation, hiding slides might be less necessary.
Avoid hiding crucial information that the audience needs to understand the context.
| Software | Method to Hide Slide | Method to Unhide Slide |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft PowerPoint | Right-click on slide -> Hide Slide | Right-click on slide number -> Unhide Slide |
| Google Slides | Right-click on slide -> Hide | Right-click on slide number -> Unhide |
