About This Feature

Overview

Hide Slides is a built-in presentation control feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you temporarily exclude selected slides from Slide Show without deleting their content.

Core tasks include:

Hide the currently selected slide from the Slide Show tab before a formal presentation.
Hide a slide from the right-click menu in the thumbnail pane for faster nearby actions.
Use the same command again to unhide a slide when you need to switch between presentation versions.

This feature works well for formal presentations, internal reviews, and backup slides kept for reference. It helps you avoid repeated deletion and recreation of slides while keeping room for later editing. Hidden slides remain in the presentation and can still be edited.

Capability Summary	Hide selected slides in a presentation while keeping them in the file. You can switch the hidden state from the ribbon area or the right-click menu.	PowerPoint supports hiding and unhiding slides. Hidden slides remain in the file and can also be shown during a presentation.	Google Slides supports Skip Slide, which skips selected slides during presenting without deleting them.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections into slides with divider blocks, but the official page does not describe a per-slide hide or skip control.	Acrobat focuses on full-screen PDF presentation settings and page transitions rather than a presentation-editor workflow for hiding individual slides.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: On macOS, WPS lets you change slide visibility directly in the presentation editing interface from the Slide Show tab or the thumbnail context menu, which is convenient when adjusting a deck without deleting slides.	Compared with WPS: PowerPoint also supports hide and unhide actions and includes ways to show a hidden slide during presenting; its official guidance centers on the navigation pane and context menu.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides supports skipping one or more slides and fits browser-based collaboration well; the official guidance uses the Skip Slide workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward turning page content into a presentation view, and the official help page does not describe a dedicated hide-slide control for individual slides.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF presentation view settings and transitions than on editing a slide deck and hiding selected slides inside it.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to decide quickly which slides should appear in a presentation, WPS provides a direct way to manage hidden slides inside the current file. Other products also offer presentation control features, but their workflows focus on different use cases such as browser collaboration, page-based presenting, or PDF playback.
