Presenting your project
How to create a presentation for your project and share it
We have previously covered how to share a model with other Rayon users in Sharing a model or a workspace.
Here we are going to explain 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 viewF
to toggle the fullscreen 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 cornerIn the
Presentation
tab, switch the toggle on forPublish 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 screenPresent
button in the Preview environmentOpen
button in theShare
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 underPresent
in the Preview environment (see above)Or click the
Refresh
button from thePresentation
tab in theShare
menu

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 underPresent
in the Preview environment (see above)Or switch the toggle off for
Publish Presentation
from thePresentation
tab in theShare
menu
Your presentation is now unpublished. Anyone opening the original link will not be able to access the presentation.
We're always available!
