You can move, edit, duplicate, and delete multiple slides at once, either from the navigation column or in Grid View.

Edit slides without grid view

To quickly select multiple slides, use the navigation column on the left of the editor.
  • Hold CTRL and click each slide to select it.
  • Hold SHIFT and click to select a range of slides from one point to another.

Deleting a single slide

To delete one slide, right-click the slide in the navigation column and choose Delete, or select the slide and press Delete or Backspace. The slide is deleted straight away, with no confirmation step. A message with an Undo button appears after the slide is deleted: click Undo, or press Ctrl/Cmd + Z, to bring the slide back. See Undo and redo. The Trash on your dashboard holds deleted presentations, not single slides.

What is grid view?

Grid View shows all the slides in your presentation in a grid, so you can preview the whole presentation at once. For presentations with many slides, Grid View is the easiest way to rearrange, delete, and edit multiple slides.

Edit slides with grid view

Open grid view

To open Grid View, click Grid View at the bottom of the left-hand panel. To close it, click Close in the right corner of the bottom panel.

Select multiple slides

To select multiple slides, click the Select button in the top panel, click the slides you want, then click Done when finished. You can also use keyboard shortcuts: hold CTRL and click each slide to select it, or hold SHIFT and click to select a range of slides.

Edit multiple slides

Grid View lets you edit the backgrounds and audio of multiple slides at the same time. Select the slides you want to edit, then use the right-hand panel:
  • Under the Design tab, you can change text colour, base colour, background image, and background visibility.
  • Under the Audio tab, you can add an audio track and edit its playback settings.

Move individual or multiple slides

In Grid View, you can drag and drop one or more slides to a different position.
  • To move a single slide, select it and drag it to your desired position.
  • To move multiple slides, select the slides, drag them to your desired position, then click Done when finished.
You can also use the Rearrange button in the bottom panel. Select the slides you want to move, click Rearrange, then select the position you want to move them to.

Duplicate multiple slides

To duplicate multiple slides at once, select the slides you want and click the Duplicate button in the bottom panel.

Copy multiple slides to other presentations

To copy slides to another presentation, select the slides and click the Copy to button in the bottom panel. Then select the destination presentation and the position for the copied slides within it.
This is a quick way to merge two presentations into one. Create a new presentation, then use the Copy to button to copy the slides you want from each existing presentation into it.

Clear audience response data on multiple slides

To erase audience response data across multiple slides, select the slides, then click Clear result in the panel.

Delete multiple slides

To delete multiple slides at once, click the Select button, select the slides you want to delete, and click Done. Then click the Delete button in the panel.

Yes. One AhaSlides presentation can have up to 500 slides. When a presentation reaches 500 slides, the AhaSlides editor shows the Presentation too large message and you can’t add more slides to that presentation. To keep adding slides, remove some slides from the presentation or create a new presentation.
