Google Slides: modifying the thumbnail view

Question

Is it possible to modify the thumbnail view? Normally in the default view of a presentation, the slides are shown on the right (or middle if 'image options' etc. is selected), and a scrollable list of numbered slide thumbnails is shown on the left. Is it possible to get access to this scrolling list? Specifically, I want to add icons below the number (e.g. 'skip / print / priority', etc.)

So far what I understand in your question is to use Method: presentations.batchUpdate. Where you need to customized your presentation as a whole.

Applies one or more updates to the presentation.

Each request is validated before being applied. If any request is not valid, then the entire request will fail and nothing will be applied.

Some requests have replies to give you some information about how they are applied. Other requests do not need to return information; these each return an empty reply. The order of replies matches that of the requests.

For example, suppose you call batchUpdate with four updates, and only the third one returns information. The response would have two empty replies: the reply to the third request, and another empty reply, in that order.

Because other users may be editing the presentation, the presentation might not exactly reflect your changes: your changes may be altered with respect to collaborator changes. If there are no collaborators, the presentation should reflect your changes. In any case, the updates in your request are guaranteed to be applied together atomically.

Try also to explore REST Resource: presentations.pages. You will need the relevant information from here to organized a specific page from your presentation.

Just explore the page and I think you get essential details from there.

Hope it helps.
