Presentations access all the information that is organized into [<mark style="color:purple;">**Frames**</mark>](/docs/design/how-to-use-frames.md) 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. Open a [<mark style="color:purple;">**Canvas**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/canvas) in your Canoa account.
2. Use **Frames** (`F` key) to create "slides" that bound the content you want to present together.
3. In the top right, click **`Play`**.&#x20;
4. Here in the Presentation side panel, click the **checkboxes** of the Frames you'd like to include in, or hide from, your presentation.
5. **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.
6. Click the **`Play`** button to launch your presentation in a new browser window.
7. Use the **arrows** on your keyboard or at the bottom of the presentation to change slides.

A best practice is renaming your Frames so they are more recognizable in the Presentation side panel. Read our [<mark style="color:purple;">**Working with Frames**</mark>](https://help.canoa.supply/docs/canvas/working-with-frames/how-to-use-frames) article to learn all about the functionality of Frames in Canvas.

## To share a link of your presentation:

1. Open up a Canvas, and in the top right corner, click **`Play`**.&#x20;
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.

{% hint style="info" %}
At anytime, you can make your presentation **private** again by simply clicking on the `trash can icon` in the Presentation window.
{% endhint %}
