5. Search for Slides Extended.
6. Click Install on the Slides Extended plugin.
7. After installation, make sure to enable the plugin by toggling it on in the Installed Plugins section.

Manual Installation

1. Download the latest release from GitHub. You need the files: manifest.json, main.js, style.css and slides-extended.zip.
2. In Obsidian, open your vault's root folder in your file explorer.
3. Navigate to the .obsidian/plugins directory. If it doesn't exist, create it.
4. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file into a new folder within the plugins directory.
5. Copy the file manifest.json, main.js, and style.css into the folder slides-extended.
6. Restart Obsidian or reload your vault.
7. Go to Settings > Community Plugins and make sure "Safe Mode" is turned off.

[!NOTE] The plugin folder is named slides-extended and contains the .zip-contents, like css, dist, plugin, template, but also the additional files mainfest.json, main.js, and style.css.

Matthäus worked on this plugin for a long time, and announced that he was discontinuing the plugin on the forum.

This plugin was a huge undertaking. I'm just picking up where Matthäus left off.
