Use this interactive demo to learn how to hide a slide from your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

The Skip Slide feature in Google Slides lets you hide specific slides from a presentation without deleting them. The slide stays in your file and can be restored anytime, making it ideal for managing optional or audience-specific content.

Steps

Open your presentation in Google Slides.
Go to the slide panel on the left side.
Right-click the slide you want to skip and select Skip slide from the menu.
Check that the skipped slide shows a crossed-out eye icon confirming it is hidden.
The skipped slide will remain in the file but will not appear during the presentation.

📌 Why this matters

The ability to skip slides in Google Slides gives presenters precise control over their content without permanently removing slides. This feature is essential for teams who need to tailor the same presentation deck to different audiences on the fly. By keeping hidden slides in the file, users can quickly restore or re-enable them without rebuilding content. It streamlines presentation management and reduces the need for multiple duplicate slide decks.
