Copy one slide from one project to another project

[Vera L]

Hi there

I need to merge two different templates into one. So I've opened the two templates in two projects in the browsers tabs. Now I want to copy one slide of project A to the other project B. When I do that, the proportions and the positions are completely wrong and it's not usable. What I've tried:
- select all with cmd + A or the mouse
- copied the slide when the "all pages view" is open

- add a new slide from the library

In my opinion it must be possible to copy a whole slide with content and paste it with the same positions into another project (same slide size)  in Adobe Express. Howerver, I couldn't figure out a way.

Hi @Vera L,

Welcome to Adobe Express Community!!

To copy one slide from a project to another, try using the same browser tab, without refreshing, for the entire mentioned workflow.
1. Copy content from the first project.
2. Return to Home
3. Open the second project, and paste it.

Also, I'd recommend using Chrome or Safari browsers for this task.

Let us know how it goes.

Hello @Amitej S , thanks for your response. It's working perfectly fine with working in just one tab. You're going to save me a lot of time - thanks! Cheers, Vera

Using the same tab is the magic trick! thank you so much for this tip, it worked perfectly for (on Chrome).

The workflow for this has changed. You can now do this directly from within Express, but it is not intuitive at all. You have to open the presentation you want to copy the slide into, go to the "Your Stuff" folder on the left, click the source presentation you want to copy a slide FROM. A new dialog will open with a list of all the slides in that source presentation. They are all selected by default, so update your selections, then click "Add as page(s)". If you deselect all, make sure you have at least one slide's checkbox selected, or the Add options will be grayed out. You'll be presented with another dialog that shows your current presentation's slides. The new slide will be inserted at the end of the presentation. Now you can drag/drop it to wherever you want it in your presentation. 

I don't know why it has to be so counter-intuitive to do this. I feel like this workflow really needs improvement.
