How to create and deliver custom slideshows in Zoho Show

Create and Present a Custom Slideshow

Create multiple (smaller) versions of a presentation with custom slideshows by only selecting particular slides instead of the entire slide deck. For example, say you have a huge presentation to deliver to the board members of your company, and the following week you have to present portions of the presentation to different departments, such as sales, HR, and product heads. Instead of copying and pasting to create several individual presentations, or deleting unwanted slides from the original presentation, create custom slide shows the quicker and easier way by picking slides for each audience. 

You can create any number of custom slideshows.
