# Slide Editing

> Add slides with AI or templates, then duplicate, reorder, or delete them.

Use the slide rail to select a slide and the controls below the canvas to add or manage slides. You can start with a blank slide, choose a template, generate a slide with AI, or organize the slides already in your deck.

## Watch the slide-editing workflow

This walkthrough shows how to generate a slide with AI, apply a template, and open the slide actions menu.

## Add a slide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose where to add the slide">
    Select the slide that should come before the new slide. Its thumbnail is highlighted in the slide rail.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how to create it">
    Use one of the controls below the active slide:

    | Control          | Use it when                                                     |
    | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Blank**        | You want an empty canvas and will add the content yourself.     |
    | **Use Template** | You want to start from an existing slide layout.                |
    | **AI slide**     | You want Presenton to generate the slide from a focused prompt. |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the new slide">
    Check the generated or selected layout, update its content, and confirm that it appears in the correct position in the slide rail.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  For AI generation, describe one slide and its intended result. For example: `Create a ranking slide with a keyword-position chart and three SEO takeaways.`
</Tip>

## Duplicate, reorder, or delete a slide

Open the three-dot menu below the active slide to access its management actions.

| Action              | Result                                            |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Duplicate Slide** | Creates a copy of the active slide.               |
| **Move Up**         | Moves the slide one position earlier in the deck. |
| **Move Down**       | Moves the slide one position later in the deck.   |
| **Delete Slide**    | Removes the active slide from the deck.           |

After moving or duplicating a slide, review the slide rail to confirm the sequence. After deleting a slide, confirm that the intended slide was removed before continuing.
