Working with slides

1. While in a project, select  Add New Slide from the control bar in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
2. A new slide will be added after the active one.

Note: If you're in a cloud project, start a collaboration from a local project, or start a new project from a File, you will be able to choose a template for your slide when selecting  Add New Slide.

Note: If your project contains slide(s) added from a template, selecting  Add New Slide will add a new slide with the recently chosen template. To add a blank slide to your project, select  Slide Sorter -> the + icon in the top left-hand corner of the Slide Sorter -> All Templates -> Whiteboard.
