How to build a library of reusable slides for PowerPoint?

Our company has recently had a rebrand and we are redesigning all our slide decks, we have about 100 unique slides that get used in various scenarios and sometimes not all slides are needed.

I'd like to create a library of individual slides, so that if someone wants to build a specific presentation very quickly with prepopulated information, they can.

I have created a template that has the company fonts and colours embedded into it, with a few standard layouts and this is shared on the company's SharePoint — where people can access it through the templates tab in the app.

Does PowerPoint have such a feature that someone could grab a prebuilt slide and put it into their presentation with little effort?

Note: I have considered creating the slides within the slide master — but this will bloat the size of the template and the resulting file. And, although I could create master slides without images and heavy graphics, it also presents an NDA issue as some slides are only available through signing an NDA (someone could go into master and see this information)

PowerPoint version is the latest in Microsoft 365.

Update: The “Reuse Slides” advice in the comments above no longer applies — Microsoft retired that feature entirely (rollout completed January 2026, no admin toggle to restore it), and SharePoint's old Slide Library feature is discontinued too. So there's currently no native PowerPoint/SharePoint way to do this.

Given that, you could consider PowerPoint add-ins built specifically for slide libraries rather than trying to recreate one out of folders and metadata columns. Disclosure: I'm the founder of one of these, TeamSlide. It indexes the text inside each slide so search actually finds content, connects straight to your existing SharePoint (no migration), and as permission controls.

Alternatively, here's how you could set it up directly in SharePoint:

1. Store each of your ~100 slides as its own .pptx in a SharePoint document library, each one created from your branded .potx so the theme matches. Then:
2. Add metadata columns if you'd like to filter and sort.
3. Switch the library to Tiles view so people get thumbnails rather than a list of filenames.
4. Put NDA-restricted slides in a separate document library with specific permissions.
