Accessing and Using the Slide Library

If your team relies on key slides — like company overviews, essential summaries, service offerings and pricing, case studies, or team introductions — you need a way to keep them consistent, controlled, and easy to update across every presentation. Visme’s Slide Library, part of our presentation feature set, is built exactly for this.

The Slide Library allows you to store these essential, approved slides in one central place, so you can lock down important content while still updating it quickly across all the decks that use it. If you’re looking to govern important slides, reduce manual updates, and keep every presentation on-brand and up to date, this feature is perfect for you.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to access your Slide Library, add new slides to it, and insert them into any presentation or template for your team.

Note: Slides that are added to the Slide Library can only be used in Presentation formats. They are not compatible with other project format types.

Adding a Slide to the Slide Library

From your Dashboard, open the presentation that contains the slide you want to add to your Slide Library.

Once the Editor window loads your presentation, navigate to the right panel and click on the gear icon on the slide’s top left corner.

From the dropdown menu that appears, select Save to Library. You can name your slide and add it to the Slide Library; now it is ready to be added to any other presentations.

Note: A slide that is added to the Slide Library cannot be edited within a project that contains that slide. Instead, you need to access them from the Slide Library first and then edit it there. Any changes you make will be automatically updated in all of the projects that feature this slide.

Accessing the Slide Library

On the left-hand sidebar of your dashboard, click on the Projects tab. This will expand the sidebar and present your Projects view.

From the expanded sidebar on the left, find and click on Slide Library. This is where all your slides you have saved to Slide Library are stored.

Once you’re inside the Slide Library, you’ll see Slide Library Groups and your Individual Slides. From here, you can browse, organize, and edit the slides you want to use in your projects, saving you time and keeping your presentations consistent.

Insert a Slide from the Slide Library

To add a slide from your Slide Library Groups to a project, from the editor window, navigate to the Slides panel on the right and then click on the +New Slide button.

From there, select access the My Library tab to access your Slide Library slides and Groups.

To finish, access the group and select the slide you wish to add by hovering over it and clicking on the Insert button, or simply clicking and dragging it over to the Slides menu.

Note: If your Slides Group contains multiple slides, you can add them to your presentation all at once. When you do, every slide in the group will appear in the slide menu, automatically ordered according to the arrangement within the Slide Group. Slide Library Groups also make it easy to organize and find Slide Library slides so you can quickly add them to your presentation whenever needed. Learn more here.

Note: Slide Library slides are saved according to the canvas size of your project you saved the slides from. This is something to consider if you are working with presentations of different canvas sizes. For example, if you’re working on a presentation that originated from an imported PowerPoint file, its dimensions may be slightly smaller than Visme’s standard presentation size (which is 1366 × 768). When you add a Slide Library created from one of Visme’s presentation templates, the formatting of the slide may appear off.

Important suggestion: Work with presentations and slides that are consistent pixel size for height and width. If you have a large collection of PowerPoint decks that you have added into Visme and want consistent results when using the Slide Library, we recommend adjusting those projects to Visme’s standard high-definition size of 1366 × 768. This ensures your Slide Library slides render uniformly across all your presentations.
