Presenting your project

How to create a presentation for your project and share it

We cover in this page how to create a presentation of your pages that you can share externally to clients or others. The core principle of this feature is that you can create a presentation (think slides for your pages) that will show all the pages you have defined inside your project.

Previewing your presentation

Before publishing your presentation, you may want to check how it will appear for the people you share it with.

From inside your project, click the Preview button at the left of the Share button.

Your pages are displayed in the same order as in your Pages panel.

From the Preview screen, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

• P to toggle the pages view

• F to toggle the full-screen view

• ◀️ and ▶️ to navigate between slides

• Esc to leave the Preview

At this point, your presentation is still private: you will need to publish it in order to get a shareable URL.

Publishing your presentation

Once you're happy with your presentation, you can publish it to make it available externally on a public link.

There are two paths to publish a presentation: from the Publish button in the Preview environment (see above), or through the Share menu.

From the Share menu:

• From the Editor, click the Share button in the top right corner

• In the Presentation tab, switch the toggle on for Publish Presentation

Your presentation is now published!

The toolbar in the Preview is now updated to include publication tools.

Sharing the link

From the Preview environment, simply click the Copy link button in the toolbar to copy the link.

Alternatively, from the Share menu, click the Copy button to copy the presentation's URL to your clipboard.

Anyone you share the link with will be able to access your presentation without having to create a Rayon account.

Viewing the presentation

Once the presentation has been published, you can display it in a new tab from three places:

• Present button in the Editor screen

• Present button in the Preview environment

• Open button in the Share menu

This will display the presentation in a new tab exactly as your clients will see it.

The same keyboard shortcuts from Previewing your presentation are applicable in the public presentation viewer.

Making edits

As your project moves forward and you make changes that you want to show again in your presentation, you can refresh your presentation to publish your changes.

To do so, you can:

• Either click the Refresh button in the menu under Present in the Preview environment (see above)

• Or click the Refresh button from the Presentation tab in the Share menu

Publishing a presentation generates a single permanent link per project: the people you share the link with will be able to see your changes by opening the same link.

Unpublishing your presentation

If for some reason, you want to make your presentation private again, you can unpublish it.

To do so, you can:

• Either click the Unpublish button in menu under Present in the Preview environment (see above)

• Or switch the toggle off for Publish Presentation from the Presentation tab in the Share menu

Your presentation is now unpublished. Anyone opening the original link will not be able to access the presentation.
