Introduction to Presentation Creator
To cater to the specific needs of individual customers, it may not always be optimal to present existing documents as is. That's where Presentation Creator comes in. It enables you to create customized presentations that perfectly align with your customers' unique requirements.
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.

💡 FAQ
Do presentations stay up-to-date, even after sharing?
Showell presentations always stay up-to-date. When you create a presentation, it directly uses the original files, so there are no copies or separate presentation files. Any changes made to the original files in Showell will automatically update the corresponding slides in the presentation.
If a file is removed, the corresponding slides will be removed, and a message will indicate that the file cannot be found.
Can I create a stand-alone file for my presentation?
If you want to prevent your presentation from being updated or protect it from files being removed, you have the option to save the presentation as a PDF. By doing this, you create a stand-alone version of the presentation that will not be affected by any changes made to the original files.
🔔 Troubleshooting
Why can't I start the Presentation Creator on my phone?
Presentation Creator is not available on mobile devices. However you can still create presentations by 'selecting files'.
