## Merge ODP in Python

[*Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET*](/slides/python-net/) lets you merge OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) files by cloning slides from a source presentation into a destination presentation. `SlideCollection.add_clone` appends a copy of each source slide, including its content and associated formatting. You can then save the combined presentation with `SaveFormat.ODP`.

## Merge ODP Files Using Python

Open the destination and source ODP presentations, iterate through the source slides, and append a clone of each slide to the destination presentation.

### Python code for merging multiple ODP files into one presentation

```python
with slides.Presentation("destination.odp") as destination_presentation:
    with slides.Presentation("source.odp") as source_presentation:
        for slide in source_presentation.slides:
            destination_presentation.slides.add_clone(slide)

    destination_presentation.save("merged-presentation.odp", slides.export.SaveFormat.ODP)
```

## How to Merge ODP Files with Aspose.Slides for Python

Follow these steps to merge two ODP files and save the result as a single ODP presentation.

Install Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET by following the [installation guide](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/python-net/installation/).
```console
pip install aspose-slides
```

Make the `aspose.slides` namespace available in your Python project.

Open the destination and source ODP files as `Presentation` instances.

Iterate through the source presentation's slides and call [`SlideCollection.add_clone`](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/python-net/aspose.slides/slidecollection/) for each slide.

Call `Presentation.save` with `SaveFormat.ODP` to write the merged presentation.
