Use this interactive demo to learn how to apply strikethrough formatting to text in Google Slides.

Quick summary

The strikethrough formatting option in Google Slides lets you draw a line through selected text using the Format menu. This is useful for showing edits, corrections, or completed items directly within your presentation slides.


Steps

  1. Select the text in your Google Slides presentation that you want to strike through.
  2. Navigate to the Format menu in the top toolbar.
  3. Click Text to access the text formatting options.
  4. Select Strike-through to apply the formatting to your selected text.
  5. Your text now displays with a line through it, confirming the strikethrough has been applied.

📌 Why this matters

Strikethrough formatting in Google Slides is a quick, built-in way to visually indicate deleted, revised, or completed content without removing the original text. It helps presenters communicate changes and edits clearly to their audience during collaborative reviews or live presentations. Accessing it through Format > Text > Strike-through requires no add-ons or keyboard shortcut memorization, making it accessible to all Google Slides users. This feature is especially valuable for teams using presentations to track updates or annotate slide content in real time.
