When you create or import a slideshow, you might end up with slides you don’t want to present but don’t necessarily want to delete either. You may simply want to temporarily hide a slide in a Google Slides presentation.
Although not an obvious feature, you can hide a slide and then show it again later in just a few steps.
Once you visit Google Slides, sign in, and open your slideshow, you can hide a slide using the Skip slide feature. Plus, you can do it in any view.
Step 1: Select the slide you want to hide.
Step 4: Alternatively, you can right-click a slide in the Filmstrip or Grid view and choose Skip slide in the Shortcut menu.
When you skip a slide, this places an icon of an eye with a line through it and hides it from the presentation.
You can still work on or move a slide that you skip in a slideshow. This allows you to keep it out of the presentation but continue to edit it.
If you have more than one slide you want to hide from your presentation, you can skip multiple slides at the same time. This saves you from manually skipping the slides one by one.
Step 1: Either show the Filmstrip using View > Show filmstrip or enter Grid view using View > Grid view.
Step 2: Select the slides you want to hide to highlight them.
Step 5: Alternatively, you can right-click one of the slides and choose Skip slides in the Shortcut menu.
You’ll then see the icon with the eye and line on each slide you skipped. These slides do not display when you present your slideshow.
When you’re ready to show the slides you’ve hidden or skipped, you can follow the same process as above to unhide them.
Step 1: Select the slide or all of the slides you want to show.
Step 3: Select Skip slide(s) to remove the checkmark.
Step 4: Alternatively, you can right-click a slide or group of slides in the Filmstrip or Grid view and choose Skip slide(s) in the shortcut menu to remove the checkmark.
This then removes the icon from the slide(s) and shows it in your presentation.
Maybe you’ve hidden a slide and then decide to show it while presenting. You can display a skipped slide when using Presenter View in Google Slides.
Step 1: When you’re ready to present, select the Slideshow drop-down box on the top right and pick Presenter view.
Step 2: You’ll then see your main browser window with the slideshow and a smaller window that allows you to control the presentation.
Step 3: In the control window, select the drop-down box on the top left that displays the slide numbers. You’ll see your hidden slides, each with that familiar icon of an eye with a line through it.
Pick the skipped slide you want to show, and it’ll display in your presentation.
Step 4: When you finish with that slide, select the next one you want to present in the drop-down box and continue with the slideshow as normal.
You can keep unfinished slides or those you’re saving for a different audience hidden and show them when you’re ready. Take advantage of this Google Slides feature!

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
