Once a deck is created you land in the editor. The layout has four main areas.
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.
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.
The toolbar is context-sensitive — it changes depending on what is selected.
