A horizontal line appears as you drag the slide, indicating where the slide will be moved. When you release the mouse button, the slide is dropped in the new location and all slides in the presentation are renumbered accordingly.
You can also set slides so that they're skipped when presenting.
An icon appears over the slide thumbnail, indicating that it won't appear when the presentation is run.
