More options for copying presentations in Google Slides

Update
[February 14, 2020] We've adjusted the rollout for this feature. Scheduled Release domains will begin a gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on February 19, 2020. Rollout for Rapid domains is complete.

Quick launch summary 

When creating a copy of an existing Google Slides presentation, you'll now be able to:
  • Select specific slides to copy instead of the whole deck. 
  • Remove the speaker notes from the copy. 
This feature makes it easier to parse out and share the most relevant content with your team, audience, or other stakeholders.

Getting started 

End users: To remove speaker notes from a full-deck copy, go to File > Make a Copy > Entire Deck and check “Remove all speaker notes.”

Removing speaker notes from presentation copy



To copy only certain slides, go to File > Make a Copy > Selected Slides. There, you’ll also have the option to remove all speaker notes from the selected slides.
