From the timeline, you can add, remove, or replace a presentation's slides as well as update the title and description. You can also move slides along the timeline to adjust their timing in the presentation. This is useful if your recording is based on a slideshow + audio or slideshow + video presentation.
Editable slides appear below the audio track. Slides that appear above the audio track are part of the Screencast or Video portion of the presentation; they are not editable.
TIP To select multiple slides at once: Press the Shift key and click two slides successively to select a range of slides that includes the two slides selected and the ones in between or press the Ctrl key and click individual slides successively to select multiple slides individually.
If you have too many of the same slides on your timeline (or not enough), click Rerun Slide Detection.
