# Edit a dashboard slide deck: slide types and speaker notes

> Turn a Mammoth dashboard into slides: pick a deck type, reorder slides, change slide types, add speaker notes and redraft a slide with AI.
>
> Applies to: Roles: Anyone who can edit the dashboard. Where: Dashboard editor › Design › Format › Slides

The **Slides** format presents a dashboard one idea per slide, reading the same data: charts stay live and numbers stay locked to your data. Switch the format under **Design** → **Format** in the editor (see [Switch a dashboard to slides](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/themes/#switch-a-dashboard-to-slides-a-doc-or-qa)); anyone who can edit the dashboard can do this.

## Choose a slide deck type

Switch the format to **Slides**, then pick a **Page structure** under **Design** → **Format**:

| Option | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Executive review** (default) | A few slides, big takeaways. |
| **Pitch deck** | A narrative arc: problem, data, ask. |
| **Data walkthrough** | A slide per chart with talking points. |
| **Motion** | A full-bleed chart that plays through time while grounded captions narrate. Needs a date. See [Build a Motion story](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/motion-story/). |


## Edit slides, slide types and speaker notes

1. Click a slide on the canvas (**Edit slide** shows on hover). The **Content** panel opens with the list of slides.
2. Click a slide in the list to jump to it.
3. Double-click text on the slide to edit it.

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Drag to reorder** handle, up and down arrows | Change the slide order. |
| Delete button | Removes the slide. A **Slide removed** notice offers **Undo**. |
| Slide type chips | Change the slide's layout: **Stat**, **Chart**, **Bullets**, **Split**, **Summary**, **Section**, **Callout**, **Compare** or **KPIs**. |
| Chart dropdown | Picks the chart the slide shows. Only on Chart and Split slides, when the deck has more than one chart. |
| **Redraft with AI** | Rewrites that slide's words, keeping the numbers grounded. |
| **Speaker notes** | Notes for the presenter. They never show on the slide. |
| **Add slide** | Adds a slide of any of the nine types. |

Charts and numbers stay grounded in your data whatever you change.


To rewrite the whole deck, use **Redo with AI**. See [Rewrite a whole doc or deck](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/docs-and-slides/#rewrite-a-whole-doc-or-deck-with-redo-with-ai).
