As you work with Google Slides, at some point you will need to do some file management to keep your presentations organized.
Normally you manage your presentations in Google Slides, but you can also do some basic file management inside Slides.
Even if you change a presentation's name, its URL stays the same, so anyone you might have shared the presentation with won't lose their access to it.
If you're working with a lot of presentations, you can mark some presentations as more important than others.
To remove any starred presentation, click the star again.
The presentation is marked with a star.
If you want to use some of the content from an existing presentation to create a new presentation, you can create a copy.
The Copy Document dialog box appears.
Google creates and displays the copied presentation.
You can also move a presentation to a new folder in Google Drive.
You can also move presentations by clicking the folder icon next to the file name.
The presentation is moved to a new location.
Finally, you can delete a presentation if you no longer need it.
Google deletes the presentation and moves it to the Trash in Google Drive.
