Remove a redundant slide

An instructional designer at a contact-center outsourcer finds a duplicate recap slide in an escalation etiquette deck that has already been narrated. Deleting the picture alone would leave twenty seconds of orphaned audio and misaligned subtitles. He wants the slide, its narration and its captions removed together.

A duplicate recap slide is removed from a draft and its narration is excluded from the revised sequence.

• Select the slide in Creation Studio and choose Remove.
• Elvina shows the linked narration segment, subtitle block and transitions on either side.
• Confirm; the narration is excluded from the revised sequence, subtitles are re-timed and slides are renumbered.
• Play the deck end to end and send it for approval.

A fictional provider, Northgate Contact Solutions, has an eighteen-slide deck called Escalation Etiquette. Slide fourteen repeats the recap from slide twelve, with its own twenty-two seconds of narration. The designer removes it before the video export.

• The deck dropped to seventeen slides with continuous numbering.
• Twenty-two seconds of narration were excluded and subtitle timing shifted accordingly.
• The QA lead played the full sequence and found no gap between slides thirteen and fourteen.

Check numbering, subtitles and timings. Removing the picture alone can leave an orphaned audio segment.

• Slide numbers run without a gap.
• No audio segment plays without a matching slide.
• Subtitles align with the remaining narration.
• Transitions on both sides still work.
• Total runtime updated in the deck summary.

Removing a slide does not edit its neighbors or pull the slide out of videos already exported and delivered. Elvina does not decide which of two similar slides is the redundant one. The deck stays in draft until a person approves. Re-export any MP4 that used the old sequence.
