Welcome!
My name is Sarah Metcalf and I will be teaching you how to "turn off" the auto advance
feature when making a nonlinear Google Slide presentation.
Now, on powerpoint, there is an easy way to do this, but on Google Slides, there is not
a built in way to do it, so I will be teaching you the hack that is most commonly used to
overcome it.
Since you already know how open a presentation and link slides in a presentation, I will
not bore you with that today, rather, we will start with a ready made nonlinear presentation
that currently has auto advance not blocked.
The first step to this is to create a rectangle by going up to the top bar and finding the
shape button.
Once you click that, you will want to choose shapes and click on the rectangle.
When the cursor pops up as a plus symbol, that means that you are ready to draw your
rectangle.
You need to make your rectangle the same size or bigger than the slide that it is on.
Like so.
The next step is to turn this into an invisible button which can be done by changing the color
of both the edge and the center.
To do this, we will go up here and click the fill color button and choose "transparent".
To change the color of the edge, we will click the "border color" button (which is right
next to the fill color button) and, again, choose "transparent".
Now that your box is invisible, we need to link it to that page so that when it is clicked,
it automatically stays on the current page instead of transitioning to the next one.
To do this, we will link how we link anything else in a presentation, by clicking the "insert
link" button, choosing "slide in presentation", and linking the current slide by clicking
it.
It is best to do this by the slide name rather than "first slide" or "last slide"
so that if you switch slides, it does not mess this up.
Now that you have completed that, all that is left is to make sure that the buttons on
the page can still link to the other pages when clicked.
To do this, first, identify all of the buttons that you have added to that page.
Next, move the rectangle to the side some, uncovering the buttons that you just identified.
I will show you with this with the fish picture that links to my home page.
Start with a left click, scroll over "order" and click "bring to front".
Repeat this for each of the buttons on the page.
Once you are down bringing all of your buttons to the front, move your rectangle back to
where it covers the page
and make sure that you can click each of your buttons individually.
If you cannot click one, like in the case with this alligator picture, it means that
it is blocked by the "invisible button" and will not be clickable in presentation
mode.
Once repeated on each page, auto advanced will be turned off in your presentation.
Good luck!
