How to avoid automatic activation of the old slidos

Hello ​@Tomoya 

I hope I understand what you mean. My assumption is that you are talking about the dates being always rescheduled to the most recent ones. That is by default in case you would actually decide to use Slido and in case the dates would be outdated your participants could have issues logging in. 

As a workaround what could work is removing all the holding Slido slides from your presentation once you finish. Re-opening the same presentation shouldn’t load Slido.

Please let me know if that is not what you mean and share with me more details. 

Thank you for your response. Your understanding is correct. I understand it is necessary to delete all Slido slides from the presentation after the class (presentation ) is completed. 
My question is to avoid this extra step, if possible.
If there is a way to change the default settings so that the validity period does not change automatically, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Hey ​@Tomoya ,

Thank you for sharing more details on what you’re meaning.

There is not currently a way to do this, but we will submit it as feedback to the team for consideration.

For now, would it be possible to make your Powerpoint presentation without Slido, and then duplicate it so you have a copy of the Presentation without Slido included in it? I understand this is another step in the beginning but would allow you to access the material from your presentation without having Slido there or reactivating a previous Slido.

Let us know if this would work for you.

Best,

Thank you Carly,

I understood it is impossible to change the settings at this time. 
I would be delighted if this feedback led to an update that allows settings to be easily modified. I will also prepare a version of the PowerPoint file without Slido (I might activate it repeatedly because I cannot remember this procedures...😅).

Best regards,

Tomoya

Dear slido team, 

I have the same issue. I want to re-use the old slides from 1 year ago. And I wanted to delete fast the responses from the older class.

Is there a tool to do that?

Hey ​@JM Hidalgo,

As my colleagues mentioned in the thread above, for now, there is not a way to do this, but we continue to pass this along to our product teams for consideration!

For now, the best thing to do would be to duplicate your Powerpoint presentation without Slido so that you have a copy without it. 

I understand this adds an extra step, but it would enable you to access your presentation materials without Slido or having to reactivate a previous session.

Let us know if this could work in your case. 

Best,

It seems I am having a similar issue. When I prepare a new PowerPoint presentation and then link it to a SLIDO event that has been created, listed in the active events are SLIDO events that occurred in the past, up to two years ago, but they have a current date - date range on them (why I expect they are appearing as active (rather than past). It is very frustrating as you I need to look through a very long list of events to try and find the correct event to add to my PowerPoint presentation. Stopping the system from changing event dates I think is paramount (another case of when you don’t want the app to think for itself).

So, I just want to make sure I’ve got this correct. If I open a PowerPoint file (generally done to maybe have a look at what I’ve previously presented or copy some of the slides) and it has a SLIDO event attached to it (I have the SLIDO add in for PowerPoint) does that action alone change the date of that SLIDO event (that was held in the past) to a current date range? If that’s the case, then that’s very poor design.

Hi ​@Mark E 

That is correct, but you can use the workaround suggested above to the other users by my colleagues.

I understand this is not ideal and we will continue to pass on the feedback to the team.

Thanks,

Monica
