With cross-references, you can add dynamic references to other pages numbers, section names or page titles of your presentation and update those references in one click whenever the content changes!
Create a cross-reference
This feature works almost the same as the native cross-reference in Word.
- In PowerPoint, place the cursor where you want the reference to be inserted.
- Go to UpSlide tab, click Insert, and then select Reference. This will open a pane on the right.
- In the cross-reference pane, select the slide or section name in the list that you want to insert as a reference.
- Using the display options, choose the styling of your cross-reference. See below for more details about the different types available.
- Press Insert.
Tip
A cross-reference is inserted as a hyperlink. Press Backspace at the end of a cross-reference to remove the link and just keep the text. If you need to remove the hyperlink formatting (e. g. for printing purpose) or break the link of all your cross-references, use our Finalize button. See our related article for more details.
Update your cross-references
To update all the cross-references in your presentation, simply click the Refresh button. If the slide/section related to the cross-reference has been removed from the presentation, #REF is displayed instead.
