Sidekick The FEATURE LIBRARY in the left sidebar contains every tool in Sidekick Pro — Slides, Songs, all the games, and the live audience features. Each feature holds its own documents, and those documents are what you add to presentations.
Browsing Features
Click a feature to open its document list. A few things to note:
- The small info button on each feature explains what it does.
- A broadcast icon means the feature includes live audience participation from phones.
- Drag features up and down to reorder the list the way you like.
Creating a Document
Inside a feature, click the + button and choose the new-document option (for example New Song or New Slides Document). The document opens in its editor with the name ready to type. Each row in the list has an edit button (pencil) and a play button to send it live.
The + menu also includes:
- Import .sidekick File
- Import PowerPoint File
- Import from Google Slides
Adding Documents to a Presentation
Three ways, use whichever feels natural:
- Drag and drop — Drag a document from the Feature Library onto a presentation’s timeline. CMD-click to select several and drag them all at once.
- The picker — In the presentation editor, click a section’s add button to open Add Feature to Section. Search by name or filter by feature, then click any document to add it.
- Embed in slides — In a Slides document, right-click a slide and choose Insert Element… to embed a feature directly between your slides. When you present, the game runs right in the flow of the deck.
The same document can appear in as many presentations as you like — it’s one document referenced everywhere, so an edit updates it in every lineup.
Right-click any document in the library for the full menu: Pin to Top, Rename, Duplicate, Export…, and Delete. Trivia documents get a bonus: Duplicate to Live Trivia converts a classic host-run trivia game into a phones-in-hands live version (and vice versa).

Hiding Features
Right-click a feature and choose Hide from Library to remove it from the sidebar and the presentation picker. Hidden features collapse into a Hidden Features row at the bottom of the library, where you can bring them back anytime with Show. You can also manage this list in Preferences → General. Anything already placed in a presentation keeps working even when its feature is hidden.
