Rearrange slide order
1 In the Library module, choose a regular collection or a folder that does not contain subfolders as the source for your
slideshow. Make your selection in the Folders panel or the Collections panel.
For an accurate view of what’s in a selected folder in the Library module, and to be sure you are in the lowest folder
in the hierarchy, select a folder in the Folders panel, click the Library menu, and make sure Show Folders In
Subfolders is unchecked.
2 In the Slideshow module, drag photos in the Filmstrip to rearrange them. Drag from the center of the thumbnail,
not the edge.
Note: You cannot drag to rearrange photos in the Slideshow module if you have chosen a smart collection or if you have
chosen All Photographs or Previous Import in the Catalog panel of the Library module.

Modifications you make to the colors, layout, text, and output settings can be saved as a custom template. After you save
