Layout Pattern
Chapter Recap
Mid-deck checkpoint that shows what you've covered and what is next. Keeps long presentations navigable.
How to Use It
In decks longer than 20 slides, your audience loses the thread. A recap slide - essentially your agenda with current position highlighted - brings them back. Reuse your agenda slide template, add a subtle indicator (highlight, checkmark, progress dot) for completed sections. Use between major sections, not between every slide. Works well paired with a section-divider that follows.
