A Beginner's Guide: Google Slides

Create a new Google Slides Presentation and Getting Started

Creating a new Google Slides deck is very similar to using Google Docs if you’ve used it before. First, you’ll have to sign into your Google account. (You will have to open a new account if you do not have one.) In order to access Google Slides, go into Google Drive and click New +. You should see Google Slides as an option beneath docs and sheets.

Google Slides Interface: Naming your blank presentation

Let’s get started on the first lesson of the beginner’s guide to Google slides! Start a new presentation file in no time! Again all these practices can be used for other services like Google Docs or Sheets. The first best practice is to name your Google Slides Presentation. In the top left of. your blank presentation, click on the text box that says “Untitled Presentation”. Enter the name of your Google Slides Presentation and press enter. As a recommendation, it may be helpful to put the date before the name or a number sequence if you are working with multiple Google Slides presentations. A standard naming convention is helpful especially if you are doing a training module, HR documentation, educational materials or multiple pitch decks. One of the most important lessons in designing many documents and decks is to keep organized and having a good naming system – it will go a long way. You can also consider naming your presentation after its version history to keep track. There are more ways to name your presentation but these are our starter tips.

Google Slides Interface: Saving your Presentation

You’ll see “Save to Drive” appear next to the name text box. A nice feature of using Google docs, slides and other services in G Suite is this auto-save feature. The document saves itself as you work, which makes sure you will never lose work! You can also click this cloud icon as a save button, so you have the option to save manually too. When you click this save button, make sure there is a checkmark on your cloud before you back out of Google Slides.

Google Slides Interface: Saving to a Folder and Creating New Folders

Google Slides Interface: Locating your Slides presentation in Google Drive

All these folders are inside Google Drive. If you’d like to locate your folders with your google slides, navigate to Google Drive. Within Drive, you can either search for the folders in the search bar or they should appear right in the list of your storage. The search bar is the easiest and probably the way you want to use it to go to file quickly.

Google Slides Interface: Renaming your Google Slides presentation

Google slides interface: starring a presentation so you can find your file easily.

A useful quick shortcut tool is you can also use the star icon to star your Google Slides presentations to make it easier to find in Google Drive. If you go to Google Drive and go under Starred, you will find your presentations there easily.

Google Slides Interface: Using or Changing a Theme / Templates

Google slides interface: add text.

Google Slides Interface: Formatting Text

Changing the font, changing the style and colour of your text, and other formatting options.

The formatting functions are similar to using Word.

Changing the Text Box’s background

You can also create a background for your selected text box by using the paint bucket tool to the left.

How to move your text box around the interface

You can also adjust the sides using the square points on the four corners and in the midpoint between the four corners. Google Slides also has smart guides to show you when things are centred or aligned relative to each other. If you see a red line appear between elements or in the centre, you know your text is aligned.

Google Slides Interface: Creating New Slides

Now that you have your title slide, you probably want more slides, like say a table of contents, a couple of content slides, and a thank you. In order to make a new slide, look to the left of the screen. Using the plus symbol, you can make a new slide by clicking on it. Depending on what theme you chose, the new slide will auto-design itself.

Google Slides Interface: Insert Images

Present your slideshow.

Once you are done designing, there are several ways to present your slideshow. The simplest way is to click Present on the top right. This will make your presentation go full-screen and you can present via your computer or screen share. In this mode, you’ll see the presenting navigation bar at the bottom left. You can navigate each slide by using the drop-down or the left/right arrows on the navbar or on your keyboard. To exit fullscreen, press ESC on your keyboard, use the exit on the navigation bar or if you see a windowed version of the presentation, hit the top window bar’s x button.
