    Good to Know

    • Share slides with your team: connect a Shared Library on SharePoint. It appears as an additional folder in the Slide Library: How to Work with Shared Libraries
    • Import existing slide collections: copy .pptx files into the Slide Library location and start the indexing via presentaid → About. Add "[split]" to a file name to split a deck into single slides (the original file is deleted). The steps are in the same Shared Libraries article.
    • Keep inserted slides up to date: Slide Radar tells you when a slide in your deck has a newer version in the library: How to Work with Slide Radar
