Duplicate a slide

Duplicate a slide in Microsoft PowerPoint — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

I need an extra version of the Product Roadmap slide with quarterly milestones highlighted for the product steering meeting. Duplicate slide 12, update its title to Product Roadmap — Milestones, and place the copy immediately after the original so the roadmaps sit side by side for comparison.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send the deck to engineering, create a duplicate of the Technical Approach slide but simplify the duplicate so the top three risks are visible on one slide. Keep the original detailed slide for the appendix, and label the duplicate as For Engineering Review so reviewers can approve risks without hunting the appendix.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I duplicated a slide but the wrong data persisted

I duplicated the Pricing slide to make a version that highlights net vs. list prices, but the duplicate still shows discounts that shouldn't appear. I am worried procurement will see the wrong numbers. I don't know whether the error is in a linked chart or manual text. What should I check first to fix the duplicate and ensure the new slide is safe to share?

Become — change the pattern

I keep making near-identical duplicates and losing track

I frequently duplicate slides to create tailored versions for different stakeholders, then lose track which is the canonical one. That creates version confusion and rework. What naming, slide-location, or note-taking habits will prevent duplicate sprawl and make it clear which slide is the approved one for each audience?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
