There are several reasons why you may need to send objects back or forward in a Google Slides presentation:
1. Layering: When you have multiple objects on a slide, layering them properly can help you create a more visually appealing presentation. For example, if you have an image and some text on a slide, you may want the text to appear in front of the image, so it is easily readable. In this case, you can send the image backward, so the text appears on top of it.
2. Overlapping: Sometimes, two or more objects may overlap each other, making it difficult to see one of them. In this case, you can send the object that is currently in the back forward, so it appears in front of the other object.
3. Grouping: Grouping objects in Google Slides can help you move them together as a single unit. However, if one object is behind another object, it may not be grouped properly. In this case, you can send the object that is in the back forward, so it can be included in the group.
To send objects back or forward in Google Slides, you can use the "Order" menu.
Here are the steps to send objects back or forward in Google Slides:
1. Select the object you want to move back or forward.
2. Right-click on the object and select "Order" from the context menu.
3. Choose the desired option:
a. "Bring to front": This will move the object to the top of the stacking order, making it appear in front of other objects.
b. "Bring forward": This will move the object one step forward in the stacking order.
c. "Send backward": This will move the object one step back in the stacking order.
d. "Send to back": This will move the object to the bottom of the stacking order, making it appear behind other objects.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to move objects back or forward. To bring an object forward, press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Up arrow" (Windows) or "Command" + "Shift" + "Up arrow" (Mac). To send an object backward, press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Down arrow" (Windows) or "Command" + "Shift" + "Down arrow" (Mac).
