Edit a dashboard slide deck: slide types and speaker notes

Anyone who can edit the dashboard · Updated 8 Nov 2026

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); anyone who can edit the dashboard can do this.

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