How do I collapse all slides in a slideshow into one slide?

[RamkiLO]

Suppose I have N slides in an odp file. I want them to be collapsed into one slide that would contain everything from those N slides. When I select slideshow, LibreOffice would expand that ‘composite slide’ and display the N slides sequentially.

When I import a PowerPoint slide presentation with a composite slide into LO and play the slideshow it plays out correctly. But, I don’t know how to create such a presentation in LO.

I did a search on “collapse slides in libreoffice” and also tried all the menu items I could find. But, I am unable figure out how to do this.

Thank you

PowerPoint slide presentation with a composite slide

• Summary Slide

• 169228 – add sections atribute to control (and improve) automatic summary creation

• 71854 – UI: Missing functionality to organize presentation in "Slide Pane" (group, expand, collapse slides) as MS PowerPoint's "Sections"

Thank you. I should have mentioned that the “Summary Slide” option isn’t what I am looking for.
I have a 635KB PPT file that shows the functionality that I am looking for. Not sure if i could attach it to this question statement. Please let me know if I may.

why not;

but likely a bit more helpful as an additional enhancement request → How to Report Bugs in LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki

Thank you very much for the link. I read the document and learned about the process.

Since the sample I’d like to attach is much smaller than the suggested 1MB limit, I’m attaching it.

When I open the attached ppt file in LO, it shows six slides.

In the ‘slide pane’, slides 2 & 3 have a mark on their left side to indicate they are expandable slides.

When I run the slideshow they get expanded. At the end of the slideshow they get collapsed back into two slides.

This is the functionality I was wondering whether it is available in LO. It doesn’t seem to be, as far as I could tell.
