In this article, you'll learn how to hold an interactive presentation (with click elements) using a mouse, interactive presenter, or touch device.
Where do I set links?
Links can be set directly in your Slides or Overlays. For a few links, it also recommends setting them directly in the template (especially in the background) - for example, for menus or language switchers. All other links are placed directly in your Slide (or overlay).
Either texts, images or elements in media galleries can be used as "buttons". Please note that this option must also be enabled in the layout for the corresponding sections.
Tip: you can easily design a "button" by giving your text section a backgroundcolor and rounded corners!
In order to make your presentation interactive, it is primarily about linking further content - this content can then be accessed interactively during the presentation and via the links and does not have to be in the presentation itself. You can either link to other slides, overlays or entire presentations. You can find a detailed overview of all linking options in presono in this article: Linking Possibilities at a Glance
Linked Slides
Now you don't have to insert linked slides separately into your presentation anymore. As soon as you click on an area with a link to a slide, it will be inserted automatically and is therefore included in the session. If you navigate forwards or backwards in the presentation, you will notice that the slide is at the point where you opened it via a link. Your original presentation will not be changed.
presono's tip:
You can also link a slide as an overlay. Click on the link symbol and then on the overlay symbol. Now you can select overlays as well as slides, which are automatically provided with a close button. You can find out more here: Create & link overlays
Linked overlays
Linked overlays are also not included in a presentation. You can open them by clicking on the linked area if required.
Overlays opened during the presentation will also be inserted into the following session.
presono's tip:
An overlay can also contain links to other slides. You can use this to create a menu that allows you to switch between all points of your presentation at any time.
More linking options
In addition to the options described above for linking to specific Slides and Overlays, you have many more options for making your Slides interactive. You can set different links on sections containing images, text or media galleries:
- link to the start page of the current presentation
- link to the next/previous Slide (suitable for linear presentations that should be operated without keyboard or swipe gestures)
- link to a specific position in a presentation (e.g. to the third slide of the current presentation)
- link to a slide, presentation (the whole presentation will be inserted at this position) or overlay
- link to a language (for interactive language switches without leaving the presentation or opening the enter menu)
- link to an external website (can be disabled via kiosk mode but specifically for fairs or similar)
