How to Select Multiple Shapes in Google Slides

Use this interactive demo to learn how to select and edit multiple shapes at once in Google Slides.

Quick summary

To select multiple shapes in Google Slides, click the first shape, then hold Shift and click each additional shape you want to include. Once all shapes are selected, you can move, resize, or format them all together in a single action.


Steps

  1. Click the first shape you want to select.
  2. Hold Shift on your keyboard.
  3. While holding Shift, click the other shapes you want to include.
  4. Release Shift once all shapes are selected.
  5. You can now edit the selected shapes together.

📌 Why this matters

Selecting multiple shapes at once in Google Slides is a core productivity skill that saves significant time when formatting or repositioning slide elements. Instead of editing each shape individually, users can apply changes — such as resizing, recoloring, or aligning — to an entire group in one step. This feature is especially valuable for teams creating polished, consistent presentations at scale. Mastering multi-shape selection in Google Slides reduces repetitive editing and accelerates slide design workflows.
