# Importing slides

Captivate allows you to import slides from one Captivate movie into another. This can save you valuable development time.

#### To import slides from one Captivate movie into another:

1. Open the Captivate movie to which you want to add existing slides.

2. From the File menu, select Import/Export > Import Slides/Objects from other Captivate projects.

3. Select the movie that contains the slides to import and click Open.

The Import Project dialog box appears.

4. Select the slides you want to import into your current movie. In Import, click the down arrow and select Slide and objects, Slide only, or Objects only. Use the slider bar (), left arrow (), and right arrow () to navigate through all the slides in the movie. Click Select All to select all slides or objects in the movie. Click Clear All to clear all slides or objects in the movie.

Note: If you select Objects only, you can specify exactly which slide you want the object(s) appended onto in the current movie. Just click the down arrow next to Place objects on and select a current movie slide number.

5. When you are done, click OK.

The slides are added to the end of the open movie.

6. Move the new slides into their correct positions. Delete any slides that are not required.
