☝️Tips:

  • My Presentations option in side menu Showell offers a build in Presentation Creator that help you to gather the most relevant materials (documents, individual pages, images, videos,...) to create a unique presentation, tailored to your customers!
  • Showell presentations are always up-to-date!
    When you create a presentation in Showell, it uses the original files to showcase the presentation. In other words; It does not copy the original files and so it does not create a stand-alone presentation.
    • This gives the benefit that when the original file is updated within Showell, it will automatically update the corresponding slide(s) in the presentation!
    • When the original file is removed within Showell, it will automatically remove the corresponding slide(s) from the presentation and provide a message that the file or document could not be found.
  • If you don't want your presentation to be updated or you want to protected it from files being removed, you can save the presentation as a PDF. By doing this you create a stand-alone presentation.


💡Note:
Presentation Creator is not available on mobile devices (phones). However you can still create presentations by 'selecting files'.
