All slides are located in your site's Digital Assets Team Drive, In a folder called "Daily". You have one set of slides for each day of the week.


Saving and Uploading

Google slides will automatically save and changes so no need to save. The daily slides will upload and change over to the next day slides automatically at midnight. For example on Monday evening at midnight the slides will change over to the Tuesday slides. If you make changes the day of, those changes will automatically refresh every 5 minutes.
