You might spend a lot of time formatting a slide to get it just right. If your creation is something that you want to use a template for other slides in the presentation, you don’t have to create it over and over again. You can duplicate it.
Google Slides has an option that will allow you to duplicate an existing slide. You can then move that slide to a different spot in the presentation and modify its content so that it is providing more information, but retains the feel of the original slide that you copied.
These instructions assume that you already have a Google Slides presentation, and that it contains a slide that you want to duplicate.

- Sign into Google Drive and open the Slides file containing the slide you want to copy.
- First: Select the slide to copy from the list of slides at the left of the window.
- Next: Select the Slide option at the top of the window, then click the Duplicate slide option. The copy of the slide will be inserted after the original slide. You can click and drag the slide to a different spot in the presentation, if you would like.
Teach your students how to do this so that when you share slide decks that work off a template they can quickly add to them and create a collaborative slide deck. Here is a slide deck that I created that students can use to introduce themselves to each other.
