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.
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 chevron next to the Present button at the left of the Share button, then click on Preview.
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 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.
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: directly from from the Editor, or through the Share menu.
From the Editor, click the Present button (either next to Share or inside the dropdown menu)
This will both publish the presentation and present it in a new tab.
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!
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.
From the main Editor screen, click the Present button to present an already published presentation.
Alternatively, from the Share menu, click the Open button to open your presentation in a new tab and experience it exactly how your clients will see it.
The same keyboard shortcuts from Previewing your presentation are applicable in the public presentation viewer.
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:
From inside your project, click the Share button in the top right corner
In the Presentation tab, click the Refresh button
If for some reason you want to make your presentation private again, you can unpublish it:
From inside your project, click the Share button in the top right corner
In the Presentation tab, switch the toggle off for Publish Presentation
Your presentation is now unpublished. Anyone opening the original link will not be able to access the presentation.
