Merge Google Slides for Training Materials
Training materials that span multiple Google Slides modules are easier to distribute as one merged PDF. Learners download one file, follow along in sequence, and keep it for future reference.
Building a course pack
Structure your training as separate module decks: Module 1, Module 2, Module 3. When the course is ready for delivery, select all module decks in Drive, open the extension, order them by module number, and merge. The result is a complete course PDF that you can upload to your LMS or share directly.
Updating individual modules
When a module needs updating, edit the source deck and re-run the merge. The updated module replaces its old content in the new merged PDF. Source decks can be updated independently without affecting other modules.
Adding a cover and agenda
Start the merge with a cover deck or a Google Doc that introduces the course, lists the modules, and provides objectives. Place it first in the merge order so it appears as the opening pages of the course PDF.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include assessment worksheets in the same merged PDF?
Yes. Add any Google Docs containing worksheets or assessments to the merge along with the Slides. They will appear in the PDF at the position you set in the merge order.
