Change slide type in a Presentation

Short summary

Change an existing slide to another supported slide type from the Slides Navigator. You can switch the layout only, or use AI to adapt the content for the new slide type.

When to use this feature

Use this when you want to:

• reuse the same slide content in a different layout
• improve how content fits a slide
• quickly restructure a slide without rebuilding it

Step-by-step instructions

1. In the Business Portal, open Workspaces → Document→ Presentation.

1. In the Slides Navigator, right-click the slide you want to update.

1. Click "Switch". The dialog shows progress while the slide is updated.

Notes & limitations

• "Change slide type" appears only for supported slides.
• You can switch only between slide types in the same slide family.
• The current slide type is shown but cannot be selected.
• "Switch" stays disabled until you choose a valid slide type.
• If AI enrichment is off, the content is reformatted only.
• Switching slide type is reversible with "Undo".
• Media is not deleted automatically during the switch.

Troubleshooting

Why don’t I see "Change slide type"?

It appears only when:

• the slide supports slide type switching
• the slide passes validation
• the Presentation section is not locked

Why is "Switch" disabled?

You must select a valid slide type before you can continue.

What happens if AI cannot format the slide?

You see this message:

• "AI couldn’t format this slide as {type}. Switch without enrichment"

Will I lose my original slide?

No. You can click "Undo" to restore the previous slide type, content, layout, styling, and media positioning.
