Batch updates with a revision guard applied every slide atomically and thumbnails made visual checks easy. Requests are very verbose, so large batches had to be split by hand, and object IDs under 5 chars are rejected.

updateSlidesPosition plus relative moves applied atomically; reading text first exposed a collaborator's edits so the batch could be adapted instead of overwriting them.
Revising slide copy while a collaborator edits the same deck
The revision guard rejected a batch after a human edited another slide, so a re-read confirmed nothing overlapped before resending. Text never auto-fits, so card copy took a few render-and-trim passes.
Rebuilding a slide layout and retexting cards
A 100-request guarded batch deleted and rebuilt a slide atomically. Slides never shrinks text to fit, so two rounds of render-and-shorten were needed to clear card overflow.
