no same copy

Is there a way to know if we have already the same copy of a slide when we
transfer slides from one presentation to an other

No way that I know of.

Yo Letter dude,

You could write a custom macro that compares the names of the slides, or
even does an assessment of the locations of objects, animations, and
appearance of the slides. However, something being off by a single pixel or
color value would make it "different" in comparison (computers kinda suck at
the whole "fuzzy logic" thing, whereas the human brain sees it intuitively).
You would need to define "the same" very clearly in computer terms.

To write this code, you will need to get into several cans of worms
(versions, templates, color matching, etc). Do you have coding skills?

No coding skills but I am interested in your proposition about checking names
because I need to transfer slides from several presentations that contains
sometimes the same slides. Each slides would have the name of the
presentatiob and number os the slides but that means the same slide could
have different data on each presentation. I don't know how it would work .
But what about hash number I hope I am saying it right , could that be
compared in this case instead of going color and details.
