About This Feature
Overview
Copy, paste, and cut slides are common clipboard actions in WPS Presentation for editing and reorganizing a presentation. They help you reuse existing slide content, adjust slide order, and move selected slides to a new position.
Core tasks include:
- Copy slides: keep the original slide and place a reusable copy on the clipboard.
- Paste slides: insert copied slides into the current presentation at the target position.
- Cut slides: remove selected slides from the original position and paste them elsewhere to complete a move.
These actions are useful for lesson planning, report restructuring, template reuse, and editing multiple presentation versions.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can use copy, paste, and cut related commands from the Clipboard area on the Home tab to reuse slides and adjust their position in a deck. | PowerPoint supports copying and pasting slides, including paste options such as Use Destination Theme and Keep Source Formatting when slides are inserted into another presentation. | Google Slides officially supports adding, duplicating, deleting, and reordering slides for presentation organization, especially in browser-based collaboration. | Notion officially focuses on moving and duplicating pages and content across workspaces or accounts rather than editing presentation slides. | Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on organizing PDF pages, which is suitable for page management in PDFs rather than slide editing in a presentation file. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The related commands are grouped in the Clipboard area on the Home tab, which is convenient for continuous slide editing in a desktop presentation workflow. | Compared with WPS: PowerPoint provides more detailed official guidance for formatting choices after pasting slides between presentations. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides is more centered on online collaboration, while WPS fits a desktop presentation editing flow more directly. | Compared with WPS: Notion duplicates pages and content blocks, not presentation slides with a slide-based editing path. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is designed for PDF page organization and does not provide a slide clipboard workflow inside a presentation editor. |
