Projects
Create, save, and duplicate projects of your website design.
The projects page allows you to create and save projects, duplicate elements, edit, and even download the entire project. While you can create and edit in-browser, you can take slide decks offline for presenting.
Pages
Create, save, and duplicate pages in your project.
Options Inside the Page
Pages are organized so that you can see each one and edit independently from the Pages menu.
Online code editor
Edit page code directly in the Slides App. For users that care what’s under the hood, Slides 5 includes a new online code editor.
Add customizations to Slides using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript right on the screen. The code editor opens with a click and is easy to manage and use. It actually opens right next to the slide you are working on.
Upload and save images inside Slides
This might be your new favorite feature: Slides 5 has an image library. Upload your images and paste them directly into slide designs.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Work fast using the keyboard shortcuts directly in Slides.
Using Slides shortcuts, you can save and preview changes, format selected code, comment or uncomment the code, and more.
All Slides 4 customers with an active subscription are updated to Slides 5 at no additional cost.
