The Navigation Bar includes options for selecting the control interface that aligns best with your presentation requirements. Choose between three view modes to suit different aspects of the presentation process:

  • Editor Mode: Prepare your presentation materials in this mode, ideal for adding annotations, highlights, or other customizations before going live.

  • Viewer Mode: This mode displays your slides exactly as they will appear to the audience, offering a full preview. You can also view upcoming slides and your notes.

  • Browser Mode: The browser view provides a grid-style overview of all your slides, allowing you to quickly jump between slides and select the one you need at any point during your presentation.

With these flexible modes, you can effortlessly switch between preparation, preview, and slide navigation, adapting to the unique needs of each presentation.
