FAQPage Schema
How do I merge multiple Beamer presentations into a single coherent talk?

To merge multiple Beamer presentations, you need to assemble intro slides and existing paper decks into one master template while preserving each paper's content and adding bridges for a unified throughline.

Can I combine multiple paper decks without altering the original source files?

You can combine paper decks without altering source files by applying a master template that imports existing content and records all assembly decisions in an assembly-map.md file for full traceability.

What is the best way to add transitions between different paper topics in a merged Beamer deck?

The best way to add transitions in a merged Beamer deck is to insert bridge slides that enforce a unified throughline, trimming redundant wrappers to ensure a smooth audience experience across topics.

How do I track which slides were included or omitted when combining multiple Beamer talks?

To track included or omitted slides when combining Beamer talks, generate an assembly-map.md file that records inputs, presentation order, omitted wrappers, and imported resources.

Does deck-assembler work with existing USC Beamer templates for multi-paper talks?

Deck-assembler works with existing USC Beamer templates by satisfying the workspace contract, applying master templates to merge intro modules and selected paper decks into a single coherent presentation.

Why do my combined presentation slides have duplicated wrappers and fragmented formatting?

Combined presentation slides have duplicated wrappers because multiple paper decks retain their individual introductory frames; merging them into a master deck trims redundant wrappers and enforces a unified throughline.
