UpSlide has developed a set of tools to help you navigate the Library effortlessly.
The Library's structure
The structure of the Library is as follows:
- A Library contains folders.
- Folders can contain subfolders or collections.
- Collections contain one or several items of the same nature. The collection Shapes is selected in the example below.
By clicking a collection or a folder, you display all items contained in the collection or folder in the grey pane at the bottom of the Library. Double-clicking an item inserts it into your document.
In PowerPoint, items can be:
- Shapes and text boxes.
- Single slides and decks of slides.
In Word, items can be:
- Shapes and text boxes.
- Paragraphs of text.
- Word documents.
In Excel, items can be:
- Shapes and text boxes.
- Single and multiple sheets.
- Excel workbooks.
Shapes and text boxes are available in all 3 applications. Therefore, if a shape is inserted in the Library from PowerPoint, it will be usable in Word and Excel.
Below is the list of icons used to identify each collection of items.
Shapes/text boxes | Slides/Deck of slides | Text | Documents | Worksheets | Workbooks |
How to browse the Library
You can use the search bar to find the content you need quickly. UpSlide will look for content based on folder or item name and text in slides or objects. When clicking the search bar, UpSlide displays the list of the most recently used items.
You can also filter the Library by content type to help you find what you’re looking for using the filter icon at the top-left corner of the pane.
You can easily change the size of the preview pane and adjust the scale (at the bottom-left corner of the pane) to change the preview size. Hover over an item to view a larger preview.
