Could you also show it on the Presentation toolbar?
And perhaps rename the Presentation toolbar to "Slide toolbar", since all
of its commands apply to the current slide, not to the presentation as a
whole.
I would also propose to move it to the bottom left so that it sits directly
under the Slide toolbar, where it can be associated with the current slide
(as per ux-natural-mapping [1]).

It's great, thanks.
