The left panel shows sections and slide thumbnails. Use it to select slides, add sections, add slides, collapse groups, create slide comments, delete slides, and reorder the deck.

Slide panel showing sections, slides, and slide actions

The center canvas shows the selected slide. Add elements from Insert and Embed, then use the canvas, the alignment tools, the layers, and the properties panel to place and style them.

The right panel changes with selection. With no element selected, it shows slide title, layout, background, transition, duration, preview, and speaker notes. With an element selected, it shows style, animation, position, responsive overrides, and link controls.

Slide properties panel with layout, transition, and speaker notes

The bottom panel expands into animation, narration, and background music lanes. Use it to preview timing, drag animation bars, resize durations, record or import narration, and manage AI voiceover or music tools.

Spatial mode replaces the single-slide canvas with an infinite planning canvas. Arrange slides, create section clusters, define routes, and edit flight paths.
