About This Feature
Overview
Create New Slide in WPS Presentation lets you insert a new page into the current deck and choose the most suitable creation method for your content. You can add a slide from the Home tab, insert one from the thumbnail pane with the right-click menu, create one from a layout, reuse slides from another presentation, generate one or more slides with AI, or build slides from an outline or document structure.
This feature is useful for class materials, business reports, training decks, and project proposals. It helps you expand a presentation structure faster and reduce repeated manual page setup.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports creating slides from the Home tab, right-click menu, layouts, reused slides, AI-generated single or multiple slides, and outline import. | PowerPoint lets users add a new slide from Home > New Slide, choose layouts, and customize layouts in Slide Master view. | Google Slides lets users change layouts, start from templates, and apply slide structure changes in a browser-based workflow. | Notion focuses on creating pages and templates for documents or databases rather than page-by-page slide editing. | Adobe Express provides presentation templates that can be customized and downloaded as PowerPoint or PDF files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: combines standard insertion, layout-based creation, reused content, and AI-assisted generation in one presentation workflow. | Compared with WPS: PowerPoint has mature layout controls, but related actions such as layout customization and other creation paths are spread across separate workflows. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides emphasizes online editing, templates, and layout changes, with fewer slide-creation paths centered in one menu. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to template-based page organization than traditional slide insertion and layout editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is strong for template-first visual design, but its workflow differs from traditional slide-by-slide editing inside a presentation editor. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to keep adding slides inside one editing flow while also choosing layouts, reusing existing content, or using AI-assisted generation, WPS fits continuous presentation building well. If your priority is browser collaboration, page templates, or template-first visual design, the other tools may fit those workflows better.
