What is Multi-slide?

The Multi-slide option in Pickcel lets you add more than one slide inside the same composition. Each slide can have its own layout and zones, allowing you to show different types of content in one composition without creating separate layouts.

Why use Multi-slide?

Use Multi-slide when you want to:
  • Show different layouts in one composition
  • Add different content on each slide
  • Manage everything from one place
For example, Slide 1 can show promotions while Slide 2 displays announcements.

Important points to remember:
  • Each slide can have its own zones with different arrangements
  • You must add content to the zones in each slide before using the composition
  • A single slide can have a maximum of 8 zones

Example

Let’s say you want one screen to show two different layouts:
  • Slide 1: One large video zone for promotions
  • Slide 2: One image zone and one text zone for announcements
This way, both layouts stay inside one composition and can be scheduled together.

Common issues

A confirmation pop-up appears first when you click + Add Slide. Click OK in the pop-up to create the new slide.
A single slide can have a maximum of 8 zones. If you need more zones, consider adding another slide to your composition.
After saving the layout, you still need to add content to the zones in each slide. Go to your composition and assign media to each zone on every slide.
