  * Select a slide on local site (Table view to the left) then click on menu "Transfer" on the toolbar then select menu item "Upload slide"  
  * Mouse right click inside the left table view borders, then select “upload slide to remote slide” context menu item to upload the selected slide to the remote site.
  * Drag & drop : drag a slide from the left, then drop it on the right. The cursor switches to {{:drag.png|}} on drag, {{:drop.png|}} on drop and {{:forbidden.png|}} when an operation is forbidden.
