Note: The Search Slide component is only available to the newest component version that utilizes the styling panel, contact your CSM with questions about updating to the Component Styling Panel.

Add the Slide Search component to add a Search button that will open the Search Slide modal/popup to allow for viewers/users to search for slides contained within the presentation.

Viewer/users will be able to open/view the slide by clicking on one of their search results displayed within the modal/popup.

Note: currently the Search Slide component can only search/find slides base on the slide Title, however an upcoming update will allow the Search Slide component to search/find slides based on their slide Title as well as any text used within the slide.


Step 1: Add the Search Slide Component
Begin by accessing the Component Store, search for “Search Slide”, and add it to your slide.


Step 2: Size and Position
Click and drag the component, size it as desired, then place it anywhere on your slide layout.

Proper sizing ensures that the desired text fit cleanly within your overall design.

Note: You may find it more convenient to change the size and position of the Search Slide component after you have updated the Settings, and changed the Styling (using the options found within the Styling tab/panel).


Step 3: Edit the Appearance settings of the Button That Opens the Search Slide Modal/Popup
