\end_layout
\begin_layout Frame
Frames can be repeated fully or only in terms of selected sub-slides, multiple

\end_layout
\begin_layout Frame
You just need to give the respective frame a label name via the frame option

\end_layout
\begin_deeper

Then you can repeat this frame by means of the
\begin_inset Flex Structure

Just enter the label name in the
\begin_inset Flex Structure

via

\begin_layout Itemize
Note that all frame content, if the style is not

This is done automatically if you insert new frame paragraphs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Nested content is marked by a red bar in the margin of the \SpecialChar LyX

\begin_layout Itemize

There is a simple and much more convenient way to start a new frame: Issue

\begin_inset Info

If you are in the frame heading,
\begin_inset Flex Alert
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator

\end_layout

inserts a new, properly separated frame above the current one!

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Frame (plain)
\end_layout
\end_inset
is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one).

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Flex Structure
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Frame (fragile)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
You can also divide your presentation into

\end_layout
\end_inset
.
Note, however, that parts behave differently in
\begin_inset Flex Structure
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
than in other document classes: a part is considered to be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
a little

This means, for instance, that if you use parts, the table of contents will
only list the sections and subsections of the part that contains this table
of contents, and the sidebar\SpecialChar breakableslash

the current part.

Basically, the overlay concept allows to change the slide content dynamically.
You can uncover things/text piecewise, fade out content, highlight things,
replace text, images etc.

Take for example a quote.

If you do this and enter

\begin_layout Frame
The difference between
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
covering
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
hiding
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content
is just covered (and the space is reserved).
If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it
would only have taken space on appearance:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper

Due to the way emphasized and bold is defined in
