How to skip slides in Google Slides with Google Apps Script?

Question

In Google Slides, it is possible to skip a slide manually by right clicking on it and selecting "Skip slide". In that case, the slide will not show up when being presented.

I cannot seem to recreate this programmatically with Google Apps Script. Does this function exist, or is there any workaround here?

Answer 1

Skipping slides via Slides API is not available at the moment.

There is feature request https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112692346 you can "star" it.

Answer 2

Since the original answer to this question there are now two methods available to the Slide.

isSkipped() - returning true or false

setSkipped(boolean) - Set as true to skip the slide in the presentation mode.
