Present Pro is the full Present toolset that allows users to author and build dynamic presentations, typically with all sophisticated features enabled. It allows drag-and-drop interactions, point-and-click report building, ad hoc querying, and data visualization. You should use this version of the app if you are building sophisticated presentations and need close control of all, or most, available functions.
You can use Present Pro to add visuals to your presentation, create data-driven dynamic text and infographics, apply styling and formatting, create interactions and actions that enable live queries at runtime, and more.

Alternative interfaces
The Pro experience, for users with a Pro license, typically comes WITH ALL sophisticated features enabled. However, admins can use user profiles to disable advanced options and advanced analytics within Present Pro either for specific users or across roles. Separately, there are other variations of Present designed for different use cases and generally suited to less technical or more business-oriented users.
These modalities are:
- Smart Present: An easy-to-use tool that guides non-technical users step-by-step through the process of building analytical content using augmentation engines and heuristics. This tool offers users the simplest method for building data visuals in Pyramid using a simple point-and-click wizard.
- Present Lite: A fully self-contained toolset for non-technical users to construct their own visuals and presentations without entering any other module.
While Pro licensed users can up- or down-grade the version of Present they use (and in some cases access multiple versions), Analyst and Viewer licensed users are only shown a subset of the functionality.
Note: The output you produce is functional across all of the different tools. This means that, if you are a Present Lite user and you create a presentation, your colleague who uses Present Pro can view and edit that presentation so long as they have access to it.
