Please note: Some changes may have been made to the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint since the making of this video.


The “Quick Links” group is part of the “TS Publish” tab (previously called “Time Savers 3”) of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint.

The tools in this part of the Time Savers Add-in make it possible for you to:

  • Quickly and easily link shapes to slides in your presentation.
  • See any existing links in your presentation at a glance.
  • Remove links from multiple shapes at the same time.

Tag Shapes:

tagLink@4x
  • Tag shapes for linking.
  • All the selected shapes will be tagged in preparation for linking them to slides in your presentation – in the order in which they were selected.
  • If you have already tagged shapes for linking, the new tags will follow on from the previously added tags.

Link to Sections:

  • Link the tagged shapes to the sections in your presentation.
  • All the shapes you have tagged will be linked to the first slide in each section in your presentation – based on the order in which you tagged the shapes.
  • If you want the links to start at a particular section, select a slide in that section. Otherwise, the links will automatically start from the section directly after the section containing the first tagged shape.
