Slides is a [[Core plugins|core plugin]] that lets you transform your notes into slide presentations within Obsidian. It's disabled by default.
## Creating slides
The best part about the Slides plugin is that it's easy to turn a note into a slide-- enclose it in these:
```
---
This is a slide
---
```
A `---` delineates the end of one slide and the beginning of the next one.
Potentially, any note can also be a slide, and you can also add anything in a slide that you can add to a note, such as images, [[obsidian-playbook/Using Obsidian/02 Making Notes in Obsidian/Markdown#Creating and embedding links|embedded links]], and more.
## Starting the slideshow
When you're ready to view the presentation, open the [[Command palette]] and select `Slides: Start presentation`.
Navigate the presentation by clicking on the right and left arrows on the bottom right.
When you're done, press ESC to return to your notes.
## Use cases for Slides
You can use Slides to:
- create simple presentations with text and images only
- quickly put together a presentation from notes you already have, by embedding your notes
- consolidate your information and force yourself to be succinct
- tell a story that connects multiple notes
