Move a slide

To move a slide to a spot far away, right-click it and choose Cut slide. Then right-click the slide it should follow and choose Paste.

Good to know
- You need to be an Admin or Editor of the space to change slides. See Space roles.
- You can't delete or cut a slide while Pitchcrow or a teammate is working on it. Wait for them to finish, then try again.
- You can't duplicate a slide that Pitchcrow is still writing.
