Brand and product marketing
Core claims, sales aids, and launch materials built from one approved slide pool rather than copied between decks.
SlideSource Library · Commercial
A governed library for commercial and brand teams
Know that the promotional claims in circulation are the ones that were approved.
Commercial content moves faster than almost anything else a life sciences company produces, and it travels further. SlideSource Library keeps the claims, the sales aids, and the decks built from them in one governed place, with the approval, the job code, and the expiry attached to the content rather than tracked beside it.
Why it matters
A claim does not stay in one deck
An approved claim gets lifted into a sales aid, a congress panel, a webinar, a slide someone built for a conference talk. When the label changes or a claim is withdrawn, updating the source file is the easy part.
The hard question is the one that gets asked afterwards: where is that claim still in use, who approved it, and against which version. A shared drive cannot answer it. That is what SlideSource Library is for.
What it controls
The things commercial teams track in spreadsheets today
Most commercial teams already keep this information. It lives in a tracker that somebody maintains by hand, separate from the slides it describes, and it is accurate until the week it is not.
- Job code, approval date and expiry as fields on the content itself, searchable and attached to the slide
- Approval tied to the exact version reviewed, so a later edit does not inherit an earlier sign-off
- Edits invalidate the approval, with a warning at the point someone changes an approved slide
- Expiry dates with alerts ahead of the date, so material is refreshed rather than quietly going stale
- A rule that stops flagged content being added to new presentations once a claim is retired
- vCheck on downloaded decks, which identifies the ones still carrying an outdated slide
Across commercial
One approved slide pool, every team that draws on it
The same governed content serves the brand team that writes the claim and the field that presents it.
Sales enablement
Give the field decks that are current by construction, and see which ones are still running retired material.
Promotional review
Record who approved a piece, when, and against which version, so a review decision can be reconstructed later.
Agencies and partners
Give outside agencies scoped access to the approved content they are allowed to work from, by login or secure link.
Congress and exhibits
Booth panels, theatre decks, and symposium slides kept on the same approval clock as everything else.
Regional and affiliate teams
Local teams work from what is approved in their market, with the market recorded on the content itself.
Design help when you need it
Need the materials built, not just governed?
SlideSource Library keeps your commercial content current and approved. When your brand teams also need sales aids, congress panels, or launch decks designed, the SlideSource presentation design team has been building them for pharma and biotech since 1986.

Common questions
Is SlideSource Library an MLR review system?
No. SlideSource Library governs the slides and presentations themselves. It records who approved a piece, when, and against which exact version, and it ties that approval to the content so it travels with the slide. Teams run their review process the way they already do, and the outcome is captured on the content rather than in an inbox.
How do we retire a claim once it has been withdrawn?
Flag the slide, and a rule stops flagged content being added to new presentations. Because presentations reference slides rather than copying them, you can also see which decks already use it, and vCheck identifies downloaded decks still running the old version.
Can we track job codes and approval expiry?
Yes. Job code, approval date, expiry date, and promotional status are custom fields on the content itself rather than columns in a spreadsheet, so they stay attached to the slide and are searchable. Lifecycle management adds review and expiration dates with alerts before material goes stale.
Can our agency work in it without seeing everything?
Yes. External portals give an agency access to a scoped selection of content by login or secure link, with access logged and inactivity alerts, so they see what they are meant to work from and nothing else.
Does this replace Veeva?
No. SlideSource Library works alongside Veeva Vault, adding a PowerPoint-native layer for the slide work that happens before publishing. When a deck is finished, it publishes into Vault as a Vault document using your own document type, classification and fields.
