Example A sales rep wants to update a slide deck with the latest sales numbers to prepare for a
customer pitch. The sales rep wants to use the slides from another deck that their manager keeps
up to date with the latest numbers. You can create a flow that uses the Copy Quip Content core
action to copy content slides 1 and 2 from their manager’s slide deck and replace the content in
slides 3 and 4 of the customer-facing slide deck.
