A Library Slide is a slide that is stored in the Slide Library and can be used in multiple presentations. A library slide can be built directly in the Slide Library or created by adding a presentation slide to the Slide Library. When a library slide is updated, the updates are applied to every presentation containing that slide. For more information about library slides click here.
