SlideRocket users can use the Duplicate feature to make an exact copy of a presentation, library slide, slide group, or theme. 

Files can easily be duplicated and will retain all the properties of the original file. A file can be duplicated when creating a new presentation or from within an existing presentation. The new copy will have all of the same layouts, backgrounds and default styles as the original. Any edits made to the duplicate will not affect the original file.

The Save As feature can also be used to make an exact copy of a presentation from within the Presentation Editor.

Save As

Save As lets a user save a copy of a presentation from within the Presentation Editor. Save As differs from the Duplicate feature in that there is no option to break links to library slides. When a presentation is copied using Save As, links to library slides will always be preserved. A copy of a presentation can only be created using Save As if the user has edit permissions for the presentation. Otherwise, the presentation can be copied using the Duplicate feature.

Creating Presentation Copy using Save As

1. From within presentation select Save As from File menu
2. Select folder where presentation will be saved
3. Type name for presentation copy into Save as: field
4. Click Ok
   

ADVANCED NOTE: The Save As option becomes available in the File menu after the presentation has been saved for the first time. Before that the option will appear gray.
