Showell provides a built-in Presentation Creator tool that allows you to gather the most relevant materials such as documents, individual pages, images, videos, and more, to create a one-of-a-kind presentation tailored to your customers. With this tool, you can easily add, edit, or remove files from your custom-made presentations. You can even include content from your My Files.
