Basic Editing

These editing patterns work across all slide types.

Most slides have text fields for titles, body content, or captions:

  • Click a field to start typing
  • Changes save automatically
  • Markdown is supported in many fields (bold, italic, links)

Where supported, you can use Markdown:

  • **bold** for bold
  • *italic* for italic
  • [link text](url) for links
  • Lists with - or 1.

To add an image to a slide:

  1. Click the image field or Add Image button
  2. Choose from:
    • Upload - Upload from your computer
    • Image Library - Select from your library
    • Unsplash - Search free stock photos
  3. Add alt-text for accessibility

Some slide types support background images:

  • Set via the Background field
  • Choose a background variant (light overlay, dark overlay, etc.)
  • The theme controls how backgrounds are displayed

For slides with multiple items (cards, list items):

  • Click an item to select and edit it
  • Use controls to add, remove, or reorder items

Use standard keyboard shortcuts:

  • Cmd/Ctrl + Z - Undo
  • Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z - Redo
