Step-by-Step Guide

To effectively sort your presentations in Google Slides, follow this step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Open Google Slides

First, you need to open Google Slides. Click on the Slides icon to access the home screen where your presentations are displayed.

Step 2: View Presentations

Once you are on the home screen, you will see a list of your presentations. You can now choose whether to view all presentations in which you are the owner or only those you have shared.

Step 3: Presentation Filtering Options

There is an option to filter your presentations by various criteria. You can also choose whether to view only those for which you are the owner or if you want to view all presentations. Check the relevant options to customize your view.

Step 4: Select Viewing Options

In this view, you can choose to show or hide elements such as name, owner, and last opened time. You also have the option to switch between grid and list view.

Step 5: Using the Grid View

The grid view allows you to capture content more easily as you can recognize presentations based on their images rather than just the title. This can be particularly useful when you have many files.

Step 6: Rename or Delete Presentations

With the three dots next to each presentation, you can rename or delete the presentation. Choose the desired option from the dropdown menu.

Step 7: Activate Offline Availability

If you want to edit a presentation without an internet connection, you can activate offline availability. This will show a gray check mark confirming that the presentation can be edited offline.

Step 8: Utilize Sorting Functions

You can sort your presentations by last opened date, last edited date, or alphabetically. Choose the desired sorting method to create the desired structure.

Step 9: Create Folders

With the folder icon, you can create folders for your presentations. Here you can see existing folders like "Copies," "Text Documents," and "Business." It is important to have a clear folder structure to keep your materials easily accessible.

Step 10: Upload Presentations

Lastly, you have the option to upload presentations directly. If you have received a presentation via email, you can upload it from your downloads folder to Google Slides.

Summary

Sorting your presentations in Google Slides is a simple yet effective process that helps you organize your documents. By using view options, sorting methods, and a clear folder structure, you can keep track of your presentations. Try these steps to effectively organize your presentations!
