What happened to Reuse Slides?

In late 2025, Microsoft retired the Reuse Slides feature from PowerPoint 365. Their suggested alternative? Copy and paste between open presentations.

Microsoft's Workaround

  • Open both presentations side by side
  • Find the slide you want manually
  • Copy and paste or drag between windows
  • Repeat for every presentation, every time

Deckary's Solution

  • Save any slide to your cloud library once
  • Browse your saved slides with thumbnails
  • Insert with one click from the sidebar
  • Access from any device, any presentation
