Merge Presentations from Various Sources into a File in Storage Introduction The article shows you how to merge PowerPoint presentations from different sources: local files, storage, and remote resources. The final presentation is saved in the storage. You can specify slide indices to merge. For protected presentations, passwords can be specified to open them. The request method below allows you to merge presentation files stored in different ways: locally, in storage, and remotely
API Type Description Resource

request
object
body
false
The information about presentations to merge (paths, passwords, slide indices, etc.).
storage
string
query
false
The name of the storage where the final presentation will be saved.

SDKs Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Slides Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
