About This Feature
Overview
Add and Remove Sections is a structure management feature in WPS Office for Windows Slides. It helps you group multiple slides into sections so you can organize, navigate, and adjust a long presentation more efficiently.
Core tasks include:
- Add a section from the Home tab to build presentation structure while editing.
- Add a section from the right-click menu in the thumbnail pane to organize slides while browsing.
- Remove a section from the Home tab while keeping the slides in place.
- Remove a section from the right-click menu for faster cleanup in the thumbnail pane.
This feature is useful for courseware, project reports, product presentations, and long proposals that need clearer slide organization.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Slides, you can add or remove sections from the Home tab or the right-click menu in the thumbnail pane to group slides. | Microsoft Word lets users insert and delete section breaks to control layout and formatting in different parts of a document, but this applies to document sections rather than slide groups in a presentation. | Google Slides lets users add, delete, and reorder slides to organize a presentation, but the official help page does not describe a section grouping feature for slides. | Notion helps organize content with sidebar hierarchy, headings, dividers, and table of contents blocks, but it is designed for workspace pages rather than slide section management. | Adobe Acrobat uses bookmarks and page thumbnails to organize navigation in long PDFs, but it does not provide slide section grouping for presentations. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides direct add-section and remove-section entry points inside the presentation editing interface, and removing a section keeps the slides in the file. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses on document section breaks for layout control, not section grouping inside a slide deck. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides focuses on adding, deleting, and reordering slides, and the official help content does not describe a separate section grouping workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to organizing knowledge pages and workspace content than managing sections inside a presentation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward PDF navigation with bookmarks and thumbnails rather than section editing in a slide presentation. |
| Official Source | — | Insert a section break | Add, delete & organize slides | Navigate with the sidebar | Page thumbnails and bookmarks in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: If you need to organize a slide deck by sections directly inside the presentation editor, WPS offers a workflow that is closer to that task. Other products also organize content, but they focus more on document formatting, workspace structure, or PDF navigation.
