Add, remove and reorder slides
Overview
Manage the slide collection when building or editing a presentation. Insert slides where they belong, remove pages that are no longer needed, and reorder the remaining slides. Your application can use this to assemble a report or tailor a deck to its audience.
Usage example (C# / .NET)
Install Aspose.Slides for .NET before running this standalone example.
This C# example creates three named slides, moves the last slide to the beginning and removes the temporary slide. The saved deck contains Summary followed by Details. Collection positions are zero-based.
using Aspose.Slides;
using Aspose.Slides.Export;
using var presentation = new Presentation();
var summary = presentation.Slides[0];
summary.Name = "Summary";
var temporary = presentation.Slides.AddEmptySlide(summary.LayoutSlide);
temporary.Name = "Temporary";
var details = presentation.Slides.AddEmptySlide(summary.LayoutSlide);
details.Name = "Details";
presentation.Slides.Reorder(0, details);
presentation.Slides.Remove(temporary);
presentation.Slides.Reorder(0, summary);
presentation.Save("manage-slides.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
FAQ
Can I move a slide without recreating its content?
Yes. Reordering changes its position in the presentation while keeping the slide and its objects.
How do slide indexes change after removal?
Later slides shift down by one collection index. Re-read the collection after a removal, or keep a reference to the slide object when subsequent operations target that slide.
Can I insert a slide at a chosen position?
Yes. Insert an empty slide using a selected layout at the required collection index, or insert a clone when you need existing content. Index zero is the beginning of the collection.
