📌 Why this matters
You might think you need separate presentation files for different audiences, but hiding slides lets you keep everything in one master deck. This becomes invaluable when you're presenting to mixed groups—maybe you need technical details for engineers but want to skip them for executives in the same meeting. You can also prepare backup slides with extra data or alternative explanations, then reveal them only if questions come up. It transforms a rigid slideshow into a flexible, audience-responsive presentation tool.
