Use this interactive demo to learn how to select multiple slides at once in Google Slides.

Quick summary

Multi-selecting slides in Google Slides lets you move, copy, delete, or duplicate several slides at once. Use the slide panel and the Shift key to quickly select a range of slides in your presentation.

Steps

Open your presentation in Google Slides.
Go to the slide panel on the left side, then click the first slide you want to select.
Hold Shift on your keyboard while clicking the other slides you want to select — all selected slides will be highlighted with a blue border.
Once the slides are selected, right-click one of them to copy, delete, duplicate, or move them together.

📌 Why this matters

Multi-selecting slides in Google Slides is a core productivity skill that saves time when reorganizing or editing large presentations. Instead of performing repetitive actions on individual slides, users can batch-move, copy, duplicate, or delete multiple slides in a single step. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing lengthy decks or frequently restructuring slide order. Mastering multi-select in Google Slides helps presenters work faster and maintain consistent slide organization across projects.
