Sidebar
The Sidebar in LibreOffice Impress is a panel on the right side of the screen that gives you quick access to
important tools for editing and customising your slides. It makes it easy to find and use the features you need
while working on your presentation.
There are different decks in the Sidebar, which are as follows:
Ð ÐProperties Deck: The Properties deck in LibreOffice Impress provides
a wide variety of tools to format text efficiently. This deck is part of
the Sidebar and provides easy access to various formatting options
without the need to navigate through multiple menus. This deck is
divided into three sections, namely, Character, Lists and Paragraph.
Ð ÐStyles Deck: This deck allows you to apply drawing and presentation
styles to objects. This helps you keep a consistent look throughout
your presentation, making it easy to format everything quickly.
Ð ÐGallery Deck: This deck allows you to insert an object either as a copy
or as a link. An object’s copy is independent of its original, hence
modifications to the original have no impact on the duplicate copy. In
contrast, a linked object is always dependent on the original object;
hence, any modifications made to the original will also affect the link.
