Replace a presentation slide in a recorded session

Important

On a typical session, there are usually two different ways your presentation is captured. One is from your computer's screen or built-in display capture, which records all activity including your live presentation slides, and the other is the *'Record PowerPoint' function, which uploads your presentation slides in their original format, e.g. PPT, PPTX

This guide focuses on the *presentation slides, rather than the recorded 'Built-in display' stream

NB. You will need to have your replacement slide(s) in PowerPoint format to complete all steps in this guide, even if just one slide is to be replaced

Replacing a slide how-to guide

1. Hover your cursor over the session you want to replace a slide for and click the grey Edit button that appears (online editor opens in a new tab):

3. Locate the slide(s) to be replaced, on the editor timeline (bottom of below image) and click the slide (or group of slides) to be removed/replaced. On the small pop-up box, click the bin icon on the slide you want to delete:

NB. the slide will still appear in the left-hand side slide list - this is because the slide is not really deleted but hidden from the viewer, so that it can be restored if needed 

 

4. Click on Add a presentation, at the top of the left-hand slide list and locate and upload the PowerPoint with the replacement slide(s) from your computer:

5. Once your replacement slides have uploaded, scroll down to the last slide of your original presentation (in the left-hand side menu > Slides) to locate your replacement slides:

6. Locate the point in the timeline where you would like to add the replacement slide and click on the timeline (a red vertical line should remain in place). Now click the '+' icon on the replacement slide and you should see it appear on the timeline at the playhead:
