Introduction
Gamma allows you to streamline your content by merging multiple slides within a gamma or copying slides from one gamma into another. Follow the steps below to efficiently manage and organise your content.
Option 1: Merging Slides Within a Gamma
🌀 Insight: If you want to combine two or more slides in the same gamma, you can use the merge feature.
Step 1: Select the Slides to Merge
Open your gamma.
Locate the 2 slides you want to merge.
Click the top-left three-dot menu (…) of a slide to select the bottom slide.
Step 2: Merge the Slides
Click Merge into Slide Above from the options menu.
The selected slide will be merged into the slide above it.
You can repeat this process for however many slides you want to merge together.
Option 2: Combining Two Gammas
🌀 Insight: Gamma does not have a built-in way to merge entire gammas, but you can manually transfer content using the copy-paste method or the copy shortcut.
Step 1: Select All Slides in a Gamma
Open the gamma you want to merge into another.
Press Cmd + A (Mac) or Ctrl + A (Windows) twice using the filmstrip (left-hand bar) to select all slides.
Step 2: Copy & Paste into Another Gamma
Press Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows) to copy the selected slides.
Open the gamma where you want to paste the content.
Press Cmd + V (Mac) or Ctrl + V (Windows) to paste the copied slides.
🔷 Note: The pasted slides will retain their content and formatting but will inherit the theme of the new gamma.
FAQs & Common Issues
Can I merge more than two slides at once?
No, you can only merge two slides at once. However, you can repeat this process individually to merge multiple slides together using the Merge into Slide Above option.
Is there another way to move gammas from one account to another besides copy-pasting?
Yes! If copy-paste doesn't work well for your content, open the gamma you want to copy from, click Share, set the link permission to Full Access, then use Duplicate this gamma to create a copy. From there you can also move or copy individual slides into your other gamma(s).
What happens to formatting when I paste slides into a new gamma?
The slides retain their content but will adopt the theme of the new gamma.
How do I combine several PowerPoint files into one gamma?
Import each file into Gamma first, so each one becomes its own gamma.
Then copy the slides from each gamma and paste them into the one you want to keep, using the steps above.
Can I combine slides from a Gamma Classic gamma and a Gamma 5 gamma?
Yes. Copy slides from one gamma and paste them into the other's slide list.
Pasting Classic slides into a Gamma 5 gamma works best. Gamma converts them to Gamma 5 layouts. Most backgrounds and images carry over, but a few Classic backgrounds or effects with no Gamma 5 equivalent are dropped.
Pasting Gamma 5 slides into a Classic gamma isn't converted, so they may not look or edit as expected.
Every slide uses the editor of the gamma it's in, so combine into the Gamma 5 gamma when you can.
Can I undo a merge if I change my mind?
Yes! Use Cmd + Z (Mac) or Ctrl + Z (Windows) to undo the action immediately after merging.
