How Do I Rotate or Flip a Slide That Displays Sideways?

Classwork.com gives you a few ways to edit a slide whose background appears rotated or flipped.


It’s important to fix slides immediately after importing them and before adding your interactions or content. If you’ve already added questions, text, or other elements, remove them before using these steps.


Rotating a Slide

  • From the Slide menu in the editor, select Transform Background.

  • Choose the amount and direction to rotate.



  • The slide updates immediately. If you don’t like the result, press Ctrl + Z to undo the rotation.


Flipping a Slide

PDFs can be unpredictable! Sometimes you’ll need to flip, not just rotate, a slide. Classwork.com can flip a slide horizontally (left to right over a vertical centerline) or vertically (top to bottom).



  • In the left slide panel, select the slide you want to adjust.

  • From the Slide menu, select Transform Background.

  • Choose the direction to flip the background, such as Flip Horizontal.



  • The results display immediately. You can undo a flip either by flipping again or using the Undo feature.
