The Importance of Tailored Slide Sets

Using separate slide sets for documentation and presentation can significantly enhance the effectiveness of a presentation. This approach allows the presenter to focus on engaging the audience rather than distracting them with detailed information on slides. By duplicating each slide into two sets—one for presentation and one for documentation—presenters can hide documentation slides that include references and lengthy sentences during their talk. This strategy ensures that the audience's attention remains on the speaker.
