Click order and Present
Quick recallThe deck is pink and your brand is green. What is the fastest fix?Think of your answer, then open.
Press Colors, then Your brand. Your brand puts your colors and fonts on every page, charts and tables too.
If a page shows everything at once, people read ahead and stop listening. Let the points come up one at a time.
Show a point on a click
- Pick the text, shape or picture to hold back.
- Press the three dots and press Show on click.
It gets a small number on the page, and in Present it stays away until that click. Several things picked together come up on the same click, and so does a group. A chart draws itself in when its click comes. To change the order, press the three dots again, then Click order, and use the arrows.
Pressing back takes things away one at a time. Saved pictures, downloads and posts always show everything.
Present
- Press Share, then Present.
- The page fills the screen, and charts draw themselves in as each page comes up.
- Go on with the right arrow, the space bar or a tap.
- Go back with the left arrow or a tap on the left side. On a phone you can also swipe.
- Press Esc or the X to return to the editor. Nothing in your design changes.
To share the deck without presenting, press Download and pick PDF, one page each.
Do it
- For Petal and Stem, put your three offer points on three clicks, and let the chart come up last.
- Press Share, then Present.
- Present to a wall, a friend or the mirror. Fix the pages where you waited for a click or ran out of things to say.
Petal and Stem now has a short deck with one idea per page, real numbers, your brand colors, and points that come up when you ask.
