Add New Slide in PowerPoint

Adding a new slide in PowerPoint can enhance your presentation by allowing you to present additional information and visuals.

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to insert a new slide in PowerPoint on both Mac and PC.

Inserting a New Slide on Mac

1. Double-click your PowerPoint presentation if it isn’t open.
   This will launch your presentation in the PowerPoint application on your Mac.

2. Click the space between two slides in the sidebar.
   The sidebar on the left side of the PowerPoint window displays a summary of each slide. Clicking in the space between two slides indicates where you would like to add a new slide.

3. Click Insert.
   You can find this tab in the top-left corner of your screen.

4. Select New Slide.
   This option is found in the drop-down menu under the Insert tab. Selecting it will add a new slide to your presentation.

   • If you want to change the position of your newly added slide, simply click and drag it up or down in the sidebar.

Inserting a New Slide on PC

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation if it isn’t already open.
   You can do this by double-clicking the presentation file or launching PowerPoint and selecting your file from the recent documents list.

2. Right-click a space between two slides in the sidebar.
   Ensure that you are selecting the space between the two slides where you want your new slide to appear. Right-clicking here will bring up a drop-down menu.

3. Click New Slide.
   This option will be near the bottom of the drop-down menu. A new slide icon will now appear in the spot you selected between the two slides.

   • You can also click and drag your new slide in the sidebar if you wish to reposition it within your presentation.
