Slidebank is a governed slide management platform that helps organisations control how PowerPoint slides are stored, updated, shared, and reused.

Instead of relying on old decks saved on desktops or shared drives, teams use Slidebank as a central library of approved slides.

Users can:

• Search for individual slides quickly
• Drag and drop slides into new presentations
• Export clean, standard PPTX files that open normally in PowerPoint
• Build decks knowing they are using current, approved content

Slidebank is designed for organisations where accuracy, consistency, and compliance matter.

No. Slidebank does not interfere with files stored on a user’s computer.

Instead, it changes behaviour by making Slidebank the better option:

• Notifications when content changes
  If a slide a user has previously used is updated, superseded, or retired, Slidebank can notify them. Desktop files cannot do this.
• Better sharing and visibility
  When users share presentations from Slidebank, they can track opens and engagement instead of emailing static files with no visibility.
• Faster access to the correct version
  Slide-level search, tagging, and version control make it easier to find approved content than to hunt through old decks.

Over time, teams naturally stop relying on outdated files because Slidebank is easier, safer, and more valuable to use.

Slidebank is designed for organisations where using the wrong slide creates real risk.

It is commonly used by teams in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments, including:

• Pharma and life sciences
• Financial services and asset management
• Insurance
• Other regulated B2B environments

Slidebank supports Marketing, Sales, Legal, Compliance, Medical and Regulatory teams that create and share customer-facing presentations.

Slidebank provides slide-level governance to help teams build from a single source of truth for approved slides.

• Permissions-based access with granular user Abilities
• Version history and audit trails
• Controlled retirement of outdated content
• Export controls for sensitive slides (for example read-only or export-as-image)

This reduces compliance risk by making it easier to reuse current, approved content and harder to accidentally circulate outdated materials.

When regulated content changes, administrators can manage updates centrally so teams stay aligned.

Typical actions include:

• Upload the new approved version
• Retire or archive the old version
• Notify users who previously used the content
• Keep virtual decks aligned with master slide updates

This ensures updates are rolled out consistently, without relying on people to remember which desktop file is “the latest.”

Virtual decks are saved collections of slides that remain linked to the master slides in the library.

If a master slide is updated, the virtual deck reflects that update, helping recurring presentations stay current without rebuilding everything manually.

Abilities are Slidebank’s granular permission controls. They let administrators define exactly what each user can do, such as:

• Upload or delete slides
• Edit metadata
• Download slides as PowerPoint, PDF, or images
• Share externally
• Build and edit presentations
• Access specific folders or libraries

Abilities allow role-specific workflows while maintaining governance.

Yes. Slidebank supports two ways of working with PowerPoint:

• Standard PPTX export (no installation required)
  Users can download standard PowerPoint files that open normally.
• Optional Slidebank PowerPoint add-in
  Users can access Slidebank content directly in PowerPoint, download approved slides, and update or replace slides they’ve used before.

The add-in is deployed centrally by an IT administrator across the organisation.

• One-time setup (no ongoing IT maintenance required for installation)
• Fast rollout across the organisation
• No per-user installation once deployed
