Presentations access all the information that is organized into on your Canvas. The Play feature allows you to create shareable private or public link to share with your team, client, or vendor. Creating a presentation inside your Canvas is a way helpful way to show a more curated and polished look of your work, leaving out the sometimes messy sandlots that live inside your infinite Canvas 😬.

To play a full-screen presentation:

  1. Use Frames (F key) to create "slides" that bound the content you want to present together.

  2. In the top right, click Play.

  3. Here in the Presentation side panel, click the checkboxes of the Frames you'd like to include in, or hide from, your presentation.

  4. Arrange the order of your Frames by dragging and dropping the three-dashed lines up and down.

    1. Click the download icon to export your presentation to PDF, JPEG, PNG, DWG, or DXF if necessary.

  5. Click the Play button to launch your presentation in a new browser window.

  6. Use the arrows on your keyboard or at the bottom of the presentation to change slides.

To share a link of your presentation:

  1. Open up a Canvas, and in the top right corner, click Play.

  2. Here in the Presentation side panel, click the checkboxes of the Frames you'd like to include in, or hide from, your presentation.

  3. Arrange the order of your Frames by dragging and dropping the three-dashed lines up and down.

  4. Click Create to create a view-only public presentation - meaning, whoever you share this link to will not be able to edit your presentation in any way.

  5. Click Copy Link.

  6. Send the link to your friends, family, clients, and team to share your presentation with them.

At anytime, you can make your presentation private again by simply clicking on the trash can icon in the Presentation window.
