Step 1: Open the Slide Menu

In the Storydoc editor, look for the “+ Add Slide” button. You’ll find it between existing slides or in the top of the slides' side panel. Click this button to start adding a new section.


Step 2: Choose from Templates or Layouts

Once the slide menu opens, you’ll see two main categories:

  • Templates (by content type): These are purpose-built slides designed for business use cases like About Us, Why Now, Go-to-Market Strategy, Charts and Data, Security and Privacy, or Competitor Cards.

  • Layouts (by structure): These offer flexible formats such as Side by Side, Timeline, Tabs, Carousel, or Narrator.

Use the tabs or search bar to browse or filter slides based on your content needs.


Step 3: Insert a Slide

Click on the slide you want to add. For each slide, you can:

  • Add as is, or

  • Add with AI using StoryBrain, which generates relevant content based on a short prompt.

The new slide will appear directly after the section where you were before.


Step 4: Edit the Slide Content

Click on text areas to type or paste your content. Use media placeholders to upload images or videos, or embed links. You can adjust layout, colors, or formatting through the editor toolbar.


Step 5: Reorder Slides if Needed

Use drag-and-drop in the side panel or slide bar to move your new slide to the correct position in your story.


Step 6: Save or Reuse Slides

Your edits are auto-saved. When ready, click Share to update your live Storydoc.

You can also save any custom slide to My Slides for personal reuse or Team Slides to share it with collaborators across your workspace.


Adding slides in Storydoc is fast and intuitive. Whether you're building a traction overview, market analysis, or visual comparison, the slide library and AI tools help you create polished content in minutes.
