# Presentations (Slides)

**Slides** lets you create and refine presentations from chat. When slide mode is on, the model can generate and edit slides using the built-in Slides tool. You can start from a **template** saved under **Settings → Account → Slides Templates**, or let the model choose structure and styling from your prompt alone.

## Turning on slides in chat

In the "+" menu of the chat input area (see [Chat input area](/en/docs/platform/chats/eingabefeld)), open **Slides**:

1. Select **Slides** until it shows a checkmark. The model receives the built-in Slides tool and can add or change slides for your prompt.
2. Below it, your saved templates appear as a list. Pick one from the list, or leave none selected — then just describe topic, audience, and structure, and the model picks layout and content freely. Click a selected template again to clear it.
3. When a template is selected, it's used as the starting point once you send; the first message then includes extra structured instructions for the model.

After you pick a template, a **chip** with the template name appears next to the input actions; click it to clear the selection.

## Templates in settings

Slides is a workspace feature. If neither the **Slides** menu in the chat input nor **Settings → Account → Slides Templates** is visible, the feature isn't enabled for your workspace. Ask your workspace admin or meinGPT support to turn Slides on.

Go to **Settings → Account → Slides Templates**:

- **Add template → Create manually** creates an empty template with a first layout; open it in the editor to design slides.
- **Add template → Upload .pptx** imports a PowerPoint file into the internal slide model (layouts become reusable template slides) so you and the model can build on them.

Each template has a **⋯** menu for edit, rename, duplicate, move between Shared and Private, and delete. In the editor you maintain **layouts** (slides that belong to the template): backgrounds, text, shapes, images, tables, and charts.

## Edit, present, and export

When the model produces slides, they appear as a **slides artifact** in the thread. From there you can open the **inline editor**, use **present** mode, and export:

- **PPTX — native (editable in PowerPoint)** — structured slides for editing in Microsoft PowerPoint or compatible apps.
- **PPTX — as images (matches screen)** — slides rasterized to match on-screen appearance; usually less editable at object level.
- **PDF** may also be available depending on the UI.

Very advanced PowerPoint features may differ after import or export; simple layouts and common fonts generally behave best.

## Quick flow

Open the chat tools menu and turn on **Slides**.

Optionally pick a **template**, or leave none selected and describe the deck in your prompt.

Send your message; iterate in chat or in the **editor** as needed.

Maintain templates under **Settings → Account → Slides Templates**; export from the slide view in chat.
