# Rewrite slides

Use **Rewrite** to improve phrasing, change your tone, lengthen or shorten something, and translate your presentation.

If you want to change the layout or design of your slide, use [**Remix**](/ai-for-presentations/remix-slides.md) instead.

## Rewrite a slide

Select the **Rewrite** tab, add a prompt or select a (customizable) preset.&#x20;

You can rewrite a specific text element, a single slide, or your entire presentation.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro-tip:** You can undo + redo these changes in Google Slides. Duplicate your slide before using Rewrite if you want to produce multiple options that you can review.
{% endhint %}

You can rewrite your slide as many times as you want. Sometimes it's helpful to string together multiple rewrites, for example, embellishing some copy for a product page, then asking Plus AI to help you make it more succinct.

## Translate slides

You can also use rewrite to translate your presentation.&#x20;

Select the **Language** you want to translate ***to***. (For example, if your slide is in English and you want to translate it into Spanish, select Español in the dropdown.)

Click on the **Translate** preset, which will populate the rewrite instructions.&#x20;

You can rewrite a single slide or your entire presentation (this can take a few minutes.)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guide.plusai.com/ai-for-presentations/rewrite-slides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
