Present slide navigation at runtime

  • At runtime, you can move backwards and forwards between the slides in your presentation using the Slide Navigation options. By default, these options are back and next buttons positioned at the bottom of each slide. The appropriate navigation is selected by your designer and depends on the size and complexity of your presentation, the purpose of the presentation (whether the slides will be viewed in consecutive order or whether it should it be easy to jump between the slides), and your design preferences.
  • Note: If you are a Present Pro user, you can change and reposition the navigation options for your presentation in the Master.

    Navigation Types

    Arrows Navigation (default)

    The default navigation option. Shows a back and a next arrow on each slide. Click to navigate through the presentation one slide at a time.

    Tab Navigation

    Shows the sections in the presentation as a series of tabs (purple arrow), and then shows the slides in the presentation as a series of child tabs (green arrow). Click on the tabs to navigate your presentation.

    Drop-down Navigation

    Shows the sections and slides in the presentation in a drop-down menu. The options in the menu represent the sections and slides in order. Select whichever slide you require from the list.

    Custom or None

    Your designer can also select None as the Navigation option in Present Pro. Where this is the case, there is no default navigation option created in your runtime presentation. Your designer may choose to create alternative navigation by setting up custom actions or jump actions that you can use to navigate between the slides.
