Add or remove sections in a PowerPoint presentation

Much like you would use folders to organize your files, you can use sections to organize your slides into meaningful groups. You can assign each colleague a section to make slide ownership clear during collaboration. And if you're starting with a blank slate, you can use sections to outline the topics in your presentation.

Add a section

• Right-click between the two slides where you want to add a section, and then click Add Section, or press Ctrl + <.

  

Rename a section

1. To rename an existing section, right-click the Untitled Section, and click Rename Section.

2. Enter a meaningful name for the section, and then click Rename.

   

View all sections in a presentation

• On the View tab, click Slide Sorter.

  Tip:  In Slide Sorter view, you'll see thumbnails of all the slides organized into sections.

  

Move a section up or down in a list of slides

• Right-click the section name that you want to move, and then click Move Section Up or Move Section Down.

Remove a section

• Right-click the section name that you want to remove, and then click Remove Section.
