If you’ve previously presented your deck and allowed your audience to ask questions using the Q&A feature, you can view the history of this by clicking Q&A history – handy if you need to remind yourself of common questions asked!
The Tools tab is also home to the Voice type speaker notes feature, which we cover here.
You can click Linked objects to open up the Linked objects pane, which allows you to find and update charts, tables, or slides that are linked to other files, such as Google Sheets. This makes it easy to keep your data up to date across different Google Workspace documents.
The Tools tab also houses Accessibility options. Click romania phone numbers example on Accessibility to toggle useful accessibility features that help make Slides easy for everyone to use, such as screen reader, braille support and screen magnifiers.
Finally, the Tools tab is where you can find the Activity dashboard (as long as you’re part of the same organisation as the file owner).This useful feature allows you to track viewers, comments, and sharing history for your presentation. It also gives you the option to adjust privacy settings, helping you keep total control of your work while enabling easy collaboration.
Extensions
There’s a lot to cover here, so see below for more on using Extensions in Google Slides.
The toolbar is home to all the helpful tools you need to create a dazzling presentation. We’ll guide you through some of Slides’ more unique tools so you’re ready to get stuck in with confidence. Note that the toolbar changes depending on what you click on — for example, if you click on an image, it will display options for formatting and replacing that image. These will be hidden when you click off the image.

Paint format: This handy tool allows you to copy and paste the formatting of one object and apply it to another. Select a shape and click the Paint format tool. Then select another shape and watch the formatting of the first shape (fill colour, line colour, line width) be applied. You can also double-click the paint format tool to continue applying the formatting across multiple objects! To turn the paint format tool off, simply press Esc.
Zoom: Google Slides’ zoom functionality is somewhat limited. Selecting the Zoom button in the toolbar only allows you to zoom to 50, 100 or 200 percent. One way to more accurately adjust your zoom increments is to use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+ALT++ and CTRL+ALT+-. Tip: After clicking the Zoom button in the toolbar, you can select a particular area on your slide to zoom in on by drawing a box over it.
