Deck Editor

Once a deck is created you land in the editor. The layout has four main areas.

Slide Panel (Bottom)

A horizontal filmstrip of slide thumbnails. You can:

  • Click a thumbnail to jump to that slide.

  • Drag thumbnails to reorder slides.

  • Use arrow keys (left / right) to navigate between slides when no element is selected.

Canvas (Centre)

The main editing surface. You can:

  • Click an element to select it. Hold Shift to multi-select.

  • Double-click a text element to enter inline editing mode (powered by a rich-text editor).

  • Drag elements to reposition them. Snap guides appear to help with alignment.

  • Resize elements using the corner handles.

  • Zoom in/out with the controls in the bottom toolbar.
