Using the clipping feature on SlideShare

SlideShare’s clipping feature allows you to pull individual slides from presentations into your own collection (clipboard)! You can use clips to bookmark and organize memorable slides for reference at another time.

Clipping and clipboard access is not currently available through the SlideShare mobile app.

Clips

As long as a SlideShare user hasn’t disabled the clipping feature for their content, and the content was uploaded as a presentation, you’ll see the option to clip from their work. By default, any clips you make will be added to the “My Clips” clipboard.

Adding a clip to your clipboard

To clip content from a presentation:

1. Sign in to your SlideShare account
2. Navigate to the presentation and the slide you want to clip
3. Move your cursor into the right corner of the content viewer
4. Click on the ribbon shaped icon that appears
5. The content clip will be added to your “My Clips” clipboard

You can also add the clip to a different clipboard. After completing the steps above, click on the ribbon icon a second time, and select the clipboard you want the clip saved to.

Deleting a clip from your clipboard

To delete a clip from your clipboard:

1. Click “View Clipboard” on the board containing the clip you want to delete
2. Hover over the clip
3. Select the trash can icon that appears in the right corner of the clip
4. The clip will instantly be deleted from the clipboard
