Slide decks ​

A slide deck is a presentation part: a set of slides shown in a filmstrip, with a per-slide transition (and control over how long that transition plays), plus a presenter mode to run the whole thing full-window. Like every part type, it's nested inside the project alongside your pages, scenes, videos, and boards, and it sleeps like any other part when you switch away from it.

Quick overview ​

  1. Add a slide part from the page tabs, or start from a slide template in the Templates panel.
  2. Build the deck in the filmstrip: add, duplicate, reorder by dragging, and delete slides.
  3. Design each slide like a normal canvas, with the same tools you'd use on a page.
  4. Give any slide a transition, tune how long it plays, or apply one transition to the whole deck for consistency.
  5. Enter presenter mode to run through the deck full-window.

Detailed reference ​

Building a deck ​

A new slide part defaults to a 1600 x 900 canvas and starts with one blank slide on the deck's shared dark background. There are two ways in: hover the page tabs + and choose Slide, or open the Templates panel, switch to the Slide tab, and pick a starter. The Templates panel has a Post / Slide / Video switch; on the Slide tab, the Blank category offers three starters, a Blank Deck, a Title Slide, and a Split Layout, so you can begin from a designed layout instead of an empty canvas. If a single slide grows into something that no longer needs the rest of the deck, you can convert it back into an ordinary page, keeping that slide's design.

The filmstrip ​

The strip sits along the canvas with a small side toolbar of three buttons: preview (eye), the slide-list panel (layers), and add (plus).

ActionHow
Add a slideThe + button in the strip's side toolbar inserts a new slide right after the current one
ReorderDrag a card to a new position in the strip
DuplicateHover a card and click the duplicate (copy) icon; the copy keeps the original name with "Copy" appended
Set a transitionHover a card and click the effects (sparkles) icon to open the Transitions panel for that slide
DeleteHover a card and click the delete icon; it is disabled while only one slide remains
Select severalShift-click cards, or hold Shift and drag a marquee across them; a floating toolbar shows the count with bulk duplicate, move, delete, and clear
Open the list viewThe layers icon in the side toolbar opens a floating Slide Deck panel listing every slide, with the same reorder (drag), duplicate, and delete actions
PreviewThe eye icon in the side toolbar opens presenter mode directly

Transitions ​

Hover a slide and click its effects (sparkles) icon to open the Transitions panel. Pick a preset, set how long it plays with the Duration slider, and click Save; Cancel discards the change. Use Apply to all slides to broadcast one choice across the whole deck instead. Each slide keeps its own transition and duration, played as you arrive at that slide, so neighboring gaps in the deck can look different from each other.

Preset groupOptions
BasicNone, Dissolve, Slide
AdvancedCircle Wipe, Color Wipe, Line Wipe, Match & Move, Flow, Stack, Slice

Duration is adjustable from 0.2 to 3 seconds, in 0.1 second steps. The ten presets are built on a smaller set of underlying motions, so some of the Advanced presets animate the same way in presenter mode (see Troubleshooting).

Presenter mode ​

Enter presenter mode with Ctrl+Alt+P, or the filmstrip's preview (eye) button, to replace the editor with a clean, full-window view of your slides for an audience. Move forward with the right arrow key or Space, back with the left arrow key, and press Esc to leave. Advancing is manual: slides move only when you press a key, and each slide's transition plays as you arrive at it. There is no auto-advance or on-screen countdown.

Designing a slide ​

Each slide is a full canvas: every design element and tool, from shapes and text to images and layers, works exactly as it does on a page, including the properties panel. A slide's background stays the deck's default dark background rather than something you set per slide, so use a full-bleed shape or image on the slide itself for a different look.

Duplicating and tagging a deck ​

Duplicating the deck's page tab, or tagging it, acts on the whole deck at once: every slide inside comes along with the copy, or picks up the tag. Treat the deck the same way you'd treat any other part in the page tabs.

Step by step ​

Build a deck and set a transition ​

  1. Add a slide part: hover the page tabs + and choose Slide, or open the Templates panel, switch to the Slide tab, and pick a starter from the Blank category. You get a 1600 x 900 deck with one slide.
  2. Design the first slide on the canvas like any page, then click the + in the strip's side toolbar to add a second slide after it.
  3. Hover the first slide's card and click the effects (sparkles) icon. In the Transitions panel, pick a Basic or Advanced preset, drag the Duration slider (0.2 to 3 seconds), and click Save.
  4. To give every slide the same transition in one move, open the panel on any slide and click Apply to all slides.

Reorder slides ​

  1. In the strip, drag a slide card left or right and drop it where the highlight shows.
  2. For a long deck, click the layers icon in the side toolbar to open the Slide Deck list panel, then drag the rows there instead, which is easier to scan.

Work on several slides at once ​

  1. Shift-click each slide you want, or hold Shift and drag a marquee across a run of cards.
  2. Use the floating toolbar above the strip to duplicate, delete, or move the whole selection at once; click the clear (x) button to deselect.

Present the deck and control timing ​

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+P, or click the eye icon in the strip's side toolbar, to enter presenter mode. The editor is replaced by a full-window stage.
  2. Advance with the right arrow key or Space, and step back with the left arrow key. Each slide's transition plays as you arrive at it; the pace is entirely up to you.
  3. Press Esc to leave presenter mode and return to editing on the slide you stopped on.

Common tasks ​

  • Start from a designed layout: Templates panel, Slide tab, Blank category, then Title Slide or Split Layout.
  • Reuse a slide's layout: hover the card and click the copy icon; the duplicate lands right after it with "Copy" in its name.
  • Turn one strong slide into a standalone page: convert the slide back to an ordinary page, which keeps that slide's design.
  • Keep a consistent look: set one transition, then use Apply to all slides.
  • Reorder a long deck quickly: open the list panel from the layers icon and drag the rows.

Keyboard shortcuts ​

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+Alt+POpen presenter mode (only on a slide deck)
Right Arrow / SpaceNext slide (in presenter mode)
Left ArrowPrevious slide (in presenter mode)
EscClose presenter mode

Moving between slides while editing is click-only: there's no dedicated shortcut for it outside presenter mode.

Troubleshooting ​

  • Two different transitions look identical when I present. The Transitions panel lists ten presets, but they are built on five underlying motions. In presenter mode, Dissolve, Circle Wipe, and Color Wipe all crossfade; Slide, Line Wipe, and Slice push to the side; Flow and Match & Move push the other way; and Stack zooms. Choose across those families when you want a visibly different move.
  • I can't delete the last slide. Delete is disabled while only one slide remains, since a deck always keeps at least one slide. Add another slide first, or convert the slide into an ordinary page if you no longer need a deck.
  • Every slide has the same dark background. A deck uses one shared dark background; there is no per-slide background color. For a different look on a slide, drop a full-bleed shape or image onto the slide itself.
  • Arrow keys and Space do nothing. Those keys only drive navigation while presenter mode is open. While editing the filmstrip, moving between slides is click-only.
  • The deck will not play itself. Presenter mode is manual, and a slide's "duration" is how long its transition animates, not a display timer, so a deck never auto-advances or loops on its own.

Tips ​

Keep one transition, or mix it up

Use "Apply to all slides" for a consistent deck, or set a different transition per slide when a specific moment should stand out.

Convert a slide back to a page

If a deck idea turns into a single flyer, convert that slide into an ordinary page instead of rebuilding the layout from scratch.

Use the list view for a long deck

Once a deck grows past a handful of slides, the floating list view from the layers icon is often faster to scan and reorder from than scrolling the filmstrip.

There is no presentation soundtrack or auto-timer

Presenter mode is driven by hand: slides move only when you press a key. The clock button in the top bar is a general focus (Pomodoro) timer for your own work sessions, not a presentation timer or a background-music player.
