You will sometimes create a presentation that contains information which you do not want to show to everyone – for example, a presentation about company strategies, which also includes slides that your board should see, but not your potential new partner companies. Of course, you could create a copy of the presentation and delete the unwanted slides there. However, it is easier to simply hide the relevant slides. They will still appear in the document, but will be skipped when running the slide show.

To hide a slide, select the slide (or several slides) in the mini sorter and choose the ribbon command Slide show | group Manage | Hide slide.

Alternatively: Right-click in the mini sorter to open the context menu and select the entry Hide slide.

You can still see hidden slides and can edit them without restrictions. However, they are no longer displayed when you run the slide show.

Incidentally, you can recognize hidden slides by the fact that their name is struck through in red in the mini sorter.

Restoring hidden slides

To restore a hidden slide, use the same procedure. The option Hide slide appears dark when enabled for a slide. If you click on the option again, the coloring will be removed and the slide will be displayed again when running the slide show.
