Repeat template slides by ID

Easily create multiple copies of your template slides using slide id

1. You can repeat a template slide using the slide's unique identifier to create multiple copies as needed.

2. Using slide_id ensures the correct slide is referenced even if the slide order or structure changes within the template.

Finding the ID of a slide:

• Programmatically:

  • using VBA or any library capable of reading PowerPoint XML (e.g., python-pptx).

• Manually:

  • Rename the .pptx file to .zip.

  • Open the ZIP and navigate to ppt/presentation.xml.

  • Inside, look for the <p:sldIdLst> section, each <p:sldId> element has an id attribute that represents the slide’s unique ID.
