Step 3: Duplicate the Slide:

  • With the slide selected, you have a few options to duplicate it:
    • Press Ctrl + D (Windows) or Command + D (Mac) on your keyboard.
    • Right-click on the selected slide and choose "Duplicate Slide" from the context menu.
    • Go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon, click on the "New Slide" dropdown arrow, and choose "Duplicate Selected Slides."

Step 4: Adjust the Duplicated Slide (Optional):

  • The duplicated slide will appear right after the original slide. You can now edit the content on the duplicated slide as needed.
