Something cool you can do with slide share is update your slides based on comments back from people. The presentation I am giving on Tuesday afternoon got a number of edits, and what I did not want to do was go through all the editing in pieces, rather make one big change and reupload the file. I also did not want to lose all the people who embedded the original presentation. Slide Share though lets you make those incremental changes as they come through, without having to take down your old slide presentation. Even better, all those embeds and links to the slide show will still work after it has been updated.

To change your slide show on the fly, login to slide share. The click on edit your slide show.

Then click on Replace Slideshow

Make all your edits on your master slide deck, then upload your new master slide show using the replace method.

Once it is uploaded, the original slide show will be in place until the new one has been crossed over to the slide share format. No one needs to know that this happened, but is great for sharing a slide show and making incremental updates of the master, and then reuploading it so that people still get to see it, and all the original code works, links, embed code, and other ways that people have linked to the presentation.

Neat trick with slide share, and makes this very easy to fix issues with the original slide show, without undoing all the linking that happens with slide share.
