# Present and preview your slides

Play animations, navigate slides and test interactive presentations.

## Start playback [#start-playback]

Use Present from the editor or your presentation's available actions. Preview the deck before presenting it to an audience, especially if it includes Steps or clickable navigation.

Use the player controls, arrow keys or Space to navigate. Fullscreen controls and double-click fullscreen are available during playback; browser restrictions may require a user gesture.

## Check the full journey [#check-the-full-journey]

Test the first slide, every Step and the route back from interactive detail states. Check that text remains readable, images load, and transitions do not hide important information. A destination deleted during editing will not become a valid interaction simply because the source is still visible.

The presentation frame clips off-canvas content. Something visible in the editor work area may intentionally be invisible during playback.

## Choose how your audience will view it [#choose-how-your-audience-will-view-it]

- Present directly for a live session.
- Export standalone HTML for interactive playback in a browser.
- Use a hosted share link when you need access controls and current synchronized content.
- Export PDF for a static handout, not interactive playback.

Mobile editor routes show a read-only preview with navigation and owner downloads. Editing still requires a desktop viewport.
