This topic is all about accessing Present Pro, either when you create a new presentation or when you open an existing presentation from the content management system. The process that you follow depends on where you are in the app and whether you already have a module open or are viewing a customized home page.
Note: Present Pro is where technology-focused users design and create their own presentations. Users with business-level access to Pyramid will see their presentations in Present Lite when opening them at design time.

Create a New Presentation
You can create a new presentation in Present Pro from your home page, or by opening a new tab.
Home Page
If you want to launch a new presentation from the home page (blue arrow below), simply click the Present icon (yellow arrow) from the App Toolbox:
New Tab
If you want to launch a new presentation while you have any module open, click New Tab (designated by the + icon) and select New Presentation from the App Tabs menu:
New Presentation
When you select one of the preceding options, you are presented with the New Presentation wizard. You can just click Create from this page to accept all the default details and create your new presentation with default settings in one step.

Open a Saved Presentation
Open an existing saved presentation from the content explorer, the home page, or using the quick open menu.
Home Page or Content Manager
Important: Your Home Page is opened from the Home icon and is highly configurable, both by your administrator and by yourself. This means that its content may not include all of the tabs or options you see in our examples.
Wherever you see an explorer-style list of content items (from your Home Page or in the Content Explorer), you can open any presentations on the list using the right-click context menu:
- Right-click the Ellipsis (...) and select Open from the menu (green arrow).
- If the presentations are shown as a list (details or content view), right-click anywhere in the row representing the presentation (snapshot, name, or any other value) and select Open from the context menu.
- If the presentations are shown as tiles, right-click anywhere in the name panel and select Open from the menu.
Tip: You can change which type of list is used for a panel using the view options to the panel's top-right (purple highlight).
Note: Double-clicking the snapshot opens the presentation at runtime. It is the equivalent of selecting View on the right-click context menu.

Quick open from App Tabs
Quick Open (green arrow) offers a fast way to find and open content without leaving the App Tab interface. Click this option to open an explorer-like interface and access files from your private folder (My Content) and any Workgroup or Public folders you have access to. The pop-up also contains a "search by name" facility and lets you open files from Recent and Favorite locations. For more information, see Quick Open.
