About This Feature

Overview

Hide Slides is a built-in presentation feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you skip selected slides during a slide show without deleting them from the file. Hidden slides stay in the presentation, so you can keep backup content, restore slides later, or adjust the deck for different audiences.

Core tasks include:

Hide one slide from the slide list.
Unhide one slide and return it to normal playback.
Turn the hidden status on or off for the current slide from playback tools.
Hide or unhide multiple slides in thumbnail view.

This feature is useful for shorter live presentations, backup slides, and reusing one deck for different presentation scenarios.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports hiding one slide, unhiding one slide, switching the current slide's hidden status from playback tools, and batch processing multiple slides in thumbnail view on iOS. Hidden slides remain in the file.	Microsoft Support explains that PowerPoint can hide or unhide slides, hidden slides remain in the presentation, and hidden slides can also be shown during a presentation.	Google Slides Help explains that you can skip one or more slides during presentation, the slides are not deleted, and collaborators can still see skipped slides.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections into slides with divider blocks, but the official help page does not describe a separate control for hiding an individual slide inside a slide deck.	Adobe Acrobat supports full-screen PDF presentation settings and page transitions, but the official guide focuses on PDF presentation setup rather than slide-level hide controls in a presentation editor.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides slide-level hide and unhide controls directly in the iOS presentation editing flow. Distinct: WPS also includes both single-slide and batch handling paths in the feature workflow described here.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page explains hide and unhide behavior clearly, but the retrieved help content is centered on desktop, web, and Mac workflows rather than a matching iPhone editing path.	Compared with WPS: Google documents skip-slide behavior, but the retrieved official instructions mainly show desktop and Android steps instead of a matching iOS editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is designed to present document content as slides, so its official workflow is different from managing hidden pages inside a presentation file.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to PDF presentation display settings, so its official workflow is not centered on hiding selected presentation slides inside a deck.

Overall Conclusion: If you need to adjust presentation playback order directly on iPhone or iPad while keeping the original slides in the file, WPS Hide Slides fits that mobile editing scenario well. Other products provide presentation or display options too, but their official workflows focus on different formats or platforms.
