Organize Your PowerPoint Presentations Effortlessly.

Zoom gives you a complete overview of your entire PowerPoint slide library. Select, print, email, or pdf your existing slides and presentations from one intuitive interface. Work across presentations with single or multiple slides without touching PowerPoint at all unless you want to edit a file. Select slides from different presentations and assemble them in a new file with a few clicks.

Most importantly, Zoom enables you to structure your individual PowerPoint slides according to your own preferences without paying attention to the underlying file structure. Assign one or more labels to your slides and organize them by project, by topic, by person or any other structure that makes sense to you.

Assembling a new presentation from existing slides in Zoom is easy. Simply select the slides you like from any presentation, right-click, and choose ‘New Slide Deck from Selection’. The New Slide Deck area at the bottom will open and your slides will be added. You can also open the area manually by clicking on the arrow on the left and then drag and drop your slides into the new file.

Once you’re done, right-click again and save the file or choose ‘Save and Edit’ to open it in PowerPoint.

Zoom will keep each slide layout exactly the same in the new presentation, so you will never have to worry about messed up layouts again.

Labels allow you to organize and slice your slide library any way you like. You could for example create a label for each project you’re working on, or label slides by topic or product, or simply assign one, two, or three stars to certain slides to easily find important information, or mark slides with labels such as ‘confidential’, ‘preliminary’, or ‘public’… or simply all of the above.

Start creating Labels by right-clicking on ‘Labels’ in the tree on the left. Then all you have to do is assign a label to an individual slide by right-clicking on the slide, choosing ‘Labels’, and checking the boxes next to the respective label(s) you want to use. Don’t forget to hit ‘Apply’ when you are done.

By the way, you can reorganize your labels easily by drag and drop.

Virtual Files are a great way to avoid duplicating slides over and over again and saving storage space. They are just like a PowerPoint file… only virtual (i.e., not saved as a file to disk). When you’re pulling together a new slide deck from existing slides don’t save it as a PowerPoint file but save it as a Virtual File. The slides will be stored in your Zoom database and you can see the new file in the tree on the left.

The great thing with Virtual Files is that they will update when the underlying PowerPoint slide changes. This means that you can keep the same slide consistent in various Virtual Files. Maybe you’re using the same slide in presentations for several projects. Whenever information on the slide needs to be updated you simply modify the underlying PowerPoint slide and all your Virtual Files update automatically.

Of course you can also save your Virtual Files to disk, e.g,  if you need to send them to a colleague.

Virtual Files, like labels, can be exported to a transfer file and imported on another machine. This way you can work with the same information on several computers or share your Virtual Files with your team.
