It’s now possible to easily copy Slides from any of your other decks. If you’re a member of a Slides Team, you can browse and insert individual slides from other team members too.

More info about inserting slides from other decks can be found here: https://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/583992-how-do-i-copy-slides-between-decks

We added support for page/slide numbers! It’s a per-presentation setting that you’ll need to turn on. Oh, and it works with PDF exports too!

Just confirmed this to be working. Iframes are only loaded for the three nearest slides. This is checked every time you navigate, if a new iframe appears within the 3-slide distance it will start loading.

GIFs now start playing when their containing slide is shown. This ensures they’ll always start from the beginning.

This logic is applied to both on-slide and background images. However restarting GIFs used as background images does not work in Firefox.

Hey! We’ve made it possible to organize decks using tags. Each tag has a unique URL so that you can share them. You can control which tag that’s shown by default when someone goes to your profile page too.

You can now customize the autoplay duration on a per-slide basis. This and a few other slide-specific options are available in the new “Slide Settings” menu. More info and examples here: https://slides.com/news/slide-settings/

iPad users will now see the full speaker view, rather than the simplified mobile version of the page.

Let us know if you run into any problems with this.

We’ve made it possible to change the transition effect for specific slides. This and a few other slide-specific options are available in the new “Slide Settings” menu. More info and examples here: https://slides.com/news/slide-settings/

There’s now an arrange mode in the editor which let’s you re-organize slides.

You can link to another slide by changing the link “Target” from “Website” to a specific slide number.

We recommend naming any slides that you want to link to using the Slide Settings UI. That way you can more easily target and link to the correct slide.

You can find more info about internal linking here: https://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/553998-adding-links

The HTML edit has since been added and it’s now possible to define custom fonts using the CSS editor (Pro-only).

You can embed decks with a special url, just append /embed/ to the deck’s URL.

For example, if the original deck URL is:
http://www.rvl.io/hakim/theming/
you can embed it with:
http://www.rvl.io/hakim/theming/embed/

Currently, you will have to manually build that URL. We are working on making this easily accessible from the UI.

Update3: This is now available!
An example of use is here:

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve changed how this works so that only part of the screen is darkened while applying a slide background. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion! We decided to address the clipped workspace when editing large slides in a different way instead.

As of today, the editor will automatically scale slide content down to fit any display size. That means no more clipping or unreachable content on small screens.

We don’t have any plans for adding an option to hide the sidebar at this time but hopefully the above change solves the layout issue for you.

Great idea! We’ve added a new option for this in the Editor Settings. Let us know if you encounter any issues.

The ZIP export issues from earlier this week should be fixed now. Please let us know if you still experience any issues.

Hey! We’ve added two new embed options that let you hide the byline and share button. Try generating your embed code again with both of those options turned on and you should only see the fullscreen button in the footer.

Thanks for the feedback!

We just released a major redesign of the fragment mode to address a few different issues:

1. There’s a new sidebar where you can see all elements on the slide listed out. This lets you reach overlapping elements and enables you to create nested fragments (useful for nested bullet lists).

2. As soon as there are two or more fragments, a new interface will appear that allows you to preview fragments without leaving the current view.

3. There’s a new button for resetting all fragments.

Let us know if you run into any issues or have any comments.

Thanks!

See comments.

If you hover over a code block anywhere outside of the editor, a blue Copy button will appear in the top right corner.
