Make a presentation

A presentation organizes your canvas content into slides. Use it when you want to guide people through ideas in a set order.

Before you start

You need the workspace member, admin, or owner role to create this item. To create it inside a folder, open the folder and use its New resource button; you need Can edit or Full access on that folder. To edit an existing item, you need Can edit or Full access on it.

Create the presentation

In the sidebar, select New resource, the plus beside Workspace.
Choose Work, then Presentations. Zanbase creates an untitled presentation and opens it.
Select the title and type the presentation’s name.

Build the slides

Select Text in the toolbar.
Click the slide to place the Text element.
Type your heading in the Text editor.
Select Rectangle to add a shape.
Drag on the slide to draw the Rectangle.
Select Add slide in the slide strip.
Choose Blank to add an empty slide.

Repeat the text and shape steps on the new slide. Select a slide’s thumbnail to return to it.

Present the deck

Open Present options beside Present.
Select Present from beginning.
Select Next on the presentation surface to advance through builds and slides.
Select Exit present to return to editing.

Good to know

A build is one step of a slide’s animation. Present starts from the current slide. Present options also offers Show speaker notes, Show slide index, and Show clock.

You can use the default Right Arrow shortcut to advance and Escape to exit present mode.
