# Presenting your project

Show your pages on screen, or send them to your client as one link.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Recent changes**

* Preview and **`Publish`** moved to the **`Pages`** panel on the left. Preview with its play button or `ALT` + `P`. The **`Presentation`** tab in **`Share`** no longer publishes.
* The play button next to **`Share`** still previews your pages. Once you have presentations, it lets you pick which one to play.
* You can now make several presentations from any mix of pages.
* **`Publish changes`** replaces Refresh, and every publish adds a version your client can go back to.
* If you published a presentation before, it's now **`All pages`**, and its link keeps working.
  {% endhint %}

**A presentation is a set of pages you show on screen or send to your client as one link.** Every model has **`All pages`**, which holds every page, and you can make your own. They're all in the dropdown at the top of the **`Pages`** panel.

### Show your pages on screen

In the **`Pages`** panel, press **`Preview presentation`** (the play button), or `ALT` + `P`. It plays the presentation picked in the dropdown, with your pages as they are now.

* `F` to toggle full screen
* The arrow keys to move between pages
* `ESC` or **`Back to model`** to leave the preview

### Make and edit a presentation

* **Make one.** In the dropdown, choose **`Create presentation…`**. Or press **`Create`** (the +) at the top of the **`Pages`** panel and choose **`Presentation`**. Every page starts ticked, or only the pages you had selected. Untick what doesn't belong, name it, and press **`Create`**. To pick by number, switch **`Pages`** to **`Selection`** and type a range like `1, 3-4`.
* **Change its pages.** Pick it in the dropdown, press **`Edit presentation`** next to it, tick or untick pages, and press **`Done`**. Or right-click a page and tick or untick a presentation under **`Add to presentation`**.
* **`All pages` has no edit button.** It always holds every page.

With a presentation picked, the panel lists only its pages, numbered in its order. On the canvas, the other pages' names turn gray. A page you create while it's picked joins it.

### Send a presentation as a link

Pick the presentation in the dropdown and press **`Publish`** below it. Check the pages in the window and press **`Publish`** again. The link appears once you publish: press **`Copy link`** next to it and send it.

### Keep the link up to date

Publishing works like issuing a set of drawings. Your client gets your pages as they were when you published, and keeps that set while you carry on working. To issue your latest work, press **`Publish`**, then **`Publish changes`** in the window. Your client sees it as a new version on the same link, the next time they open it. Rayon doesn't tell them, and doesn't warn you when the link is out of date.

* The window shows your pages as they are now, which is what **`Publish changes`** sends. To see what your client has, press **`Open presentation`** next to the link.
* **`Last updated`** is when you last published, not when you last edited.

### What your client sees

Your client opens the link in any browser, with no account. Along the bottom of the screen they have:

* **`Fullscreen`** (`F`)
* **`Measure distance`** and **`Measure area`**
* **`Show pages`** (`P`), and arrows to move between pages
* **`Download as PDF`**, which saves the version on screen
* **`Copy link`**, to pass your link on

### Versions

Your first publish is Version 1, each **`Publish changes`** adds the next, and the link always opens the newest.

* Your client sees the version number and date in the corner.
* To go back, they press **`Show pages`** (`P`) and pick a version from the dropdown at the top of the panel. The newest is marked **`Latest`**.
* A client with the link open has to reload to see a new version. If they picked a version, reloading keeps it, so they need to open your link again.

<figure><img src="https://2112124689-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FngVHKyaUSSJPTFck3wkz%2Fuploads%2FfCifjLmxCxHiK3aaOwY0%2Fclient-versions.png?alt=media" alt="Your client&#x27;s Pages panel with the version list open: Version 2 marked Latest, Version 1 below it"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Unpublish or delete

* **`Unpublish`**, in the Publish window, takes the link down for anyone who opens or reloads it. Publish again and the same link comes back, with its earlier versions.
* **`Delete presentation`**, in **`Edit presentation`**, takes the link down for good and deletes its versions. Your pages stay on the canvas.

### Good to know

* **The Share link is a different link.** **`Share`** › **`Access`** › **`Public link`** opens the model itself. Presentation links keep working whether that switch is on or off.
* **Page numbers follow the presentation.** Numbers placed with **`Page number`**, in a title block for example, follow the picked presentation's order and show 0 on pages outside it. Pick **`All pages`** to number every page again. More about page order and numbering on the [Pages](/documentation/layout-and-present/pages.md) page.
* **Names.** Your client's browser tab and PDF take the presentation's name. **`All pages`** can't be renamed, so if you publish it, your client sees "All pages". To show your project's name, give a presentation that name.
