Skip a slide

If you don’t want a slide to play during your presentation, you can skip it. Skipping is useful, for example, if you want to retain two versions of a slide but you want to show only one of them.

Skipped slides are editable and appear as a horizontal bar in the slide navigator. You can select them and interact with them just as you would other slides.
