This handy feature allows you to send an approval request to anyone who needs to give your presentation the final once-over — for example, your manager. To use this feature, simply click Approvals and the Approvals pane will appear. Click Make a request to send the deck to your chosen reviewers. You can toggle editing privileges or add a message before clicking Send request. You can also add a due date. Your chosen approver will see a message that says Pending approval at the top of the presentation when they open it. They can click to open a sidebar that allows them to see other reviewers, read your message, and see the due date if one has been assigned. Once they’ve approved the deck, you’ll get a notification to let you know.
Edit
The Edit tab houses some of the simplest — but romania phone number most useful — tools you’ll use in Slides. Here you can find the expected Undo and Redo buttons for taking edits a step forward or back and options for Cut, Copy, and Paste. A particularly handy tool is Find and replace. If you have a word or phrase running throughout your presentation that needs changing, type it into the Find dialogue box and type your alternative into the Replace box. Then hit Replace to go through each instance individually, or Replace all for a blanket change across slides.
Tip: A lot of these actions can also be controlled using keyboard shortcuts. We’ve compiled a list of the most useful keyboard shortcuts for Slides in a handy PDF. Click here to download it for free and check out our favourite Google Slides shortcuts for increased productivity.
