How do I add quiz question and answer slides in SlideSpeak?

Kevin GoedeckeKevin GoedeckeLast updatedNov 03, 2026

Use Question & answer slides to add your quiz questions to a presentation as ordinary slides. Each question has a matching answer slide. You can present or download them with the rest of your deck; this option does not collect participant responses.

Before you start

Use a presentation you own, or one in your active team workspace. An invitation to edit someone else’s presentation does not grant the Add quiz control.

Step 1: Open and review your quiz

Open the presentation in the SlideSpeak editor and click Quiz in the right-hand toolbar. Open the quiz you want to use and check its questions, answer options and correct answers.

If you need a quiz first, see how to create a quiz from a presentation.

Make your changes before adding the slides. After insertion, you’ll need to edit the question and its answer slide to keep them consistent.

Step 2: Choose Question & answer slides

  1. On the quiz card or in the quiz editor, click Add quiz.
  2. Choose Question & answer slides.
  3. Choose After current slide or At the end under Slide position.
  4. Click Add question & answer slides.

From the dashboard’s quiz tool, click Use quiz, choose Question & answer slides, then click Choose presentation. Select the destination and confirm Add question & answer slides. This path inserts the slides at the end.

Add quiz dialog with Question & answer slides and At the end selected.
Choose Question & answer slides and where to insert them.

Step 3: Check the new slides

SlideSpeak adds two slides per question:

  • The question slide shows the question and its lettered answer options.
  • The answer slide follows it, with the correct option highlighted and the explanation, if present.

A three-question quiz adds six slides.

Keep each question before its answer slide so you don’t reveal the answer first. True/false questions have two answer options. The slides pick up your presentation’s background, accent color and fonts, and you can move them in the slide list to place each pair beside the topic it covers.

The matching answer slide highlights the correct option and explains the slip hazard.
The following answer slide highlights the correct option and includes the explanation.

Step 4: Edit, present or download

Edit the text, colors or layout as you would on any other slide. If you change a question, update its answer slide too.

Click Present to show the deck in SlideSpeak, or download the presentation. The question and answer slides remain part of the deck. Editing these inserted slides does not update the original quiz.

Collect responses instead

To collect responses at different times, share a self-paced quiz. To lead everyone through the quiz together, host a live quiz.

Both options are in the same Add quiz or Use quiz dialog. Ordinary question and answer slides do not create entries in quiz results.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print the questions without giving participants the answers?

Yes. Open the original quiz and click Download, then choose Quiz PDF for a question handout. Choose Answer Sheet to download a separate answer key for yourself.
