Google Slides, the tool for creating new presentation slides, has recently received significant upgrades. Besides enhancing online slide creation capabilities, noteworthy is Google Slides introduces third-party add-ons and integrates Google Keep to facilitate users' work.

Third-party add-ons

Since 2014, Google Docs and Google Sheets have integrated third-party add-ons, but this feature was only integrated on Android last year.

The Google Slides update also integrates third-party add-ons, including some tools from Shutterstock

and Adobe. Both Shutterstock and Adobe allow users to add stock images from their respective libraries to Slides.

Since its launch, Slides has integrated 5 add-ons including Balsamiq, LucidChart, Peardeck, The Noun Project, and Unsplash. Users can access these add-ons right on the menubar.

Integration with Google Keep

Back in February, Google Docs integrated Google Keep, allowing users to view notes while working on documents. This feature has also been added to Google Slides, with the ability to drag and drop notes into the presentation.

Slides Link

Instead of copying and pasting slides from one file to another, users can now link slides to continuously update them.

'Now users can link and sync slides from multiple presentations with just 1 click. This way, you can maintain a single presentation and easily update linked slides.'

App Script

Google Slides also enhances workflow with App Script, allowing users to 'automatically create and modify slides, and customize menus, dialogs, and sidebars on the user interface'.

Charts, grid view mode

The latest changes on Google Slides address features requested by customers. Charts, timelines, workflows, and hierarchies are now integrated into slides. The grid view mode allows quickly viewing all slides as thumbnails. Presenters also have the ability to skip slides without having to delete them entirely.
