Present the deck

Updated July 11, 2026

A built proposal is already a full slide-by-slide presentation the moment it opens, there is no separate "presentation mode" to switch into just to view it. Present is one further step, into true full-screen.

#Viewing versus presenting

Opening a proposal drops you into the main deck view, one slide at a time, filling the browser window. This is enough for reviewing a deck at your desk or walking a client through it on a shared screen.

Click Present in the toolbar and the same view goes into your browser's native full-screen mode, chrome and all, hidden. There are no separate presenter notes and no split laptop-view-versus-audience-view, it is the identical deck, just full screen.

#Moving between slides

However you are viewing the deck, moving through it works the same few ways:

  • Prev and Next buttons in the toolbar.
  • A slide counter, for example "3 / 9", so you always know where you are.
  • Arrow keys once you are in a presenting view: Right Arrow or Space advances, Left Arrow goes back.
  • Escape closes out of the presenter view. If you are in true full-screen, the first Escape only exits full-screen, matching how the browser's own full-screen shortcut behaves.
  • From the outline editor, clicking any slide thumbnail jumps the presenter straight to that slide.

Click Close to leave the presenter view entirely and return to the dashboard or Proposals list.

#Slides that do not clip

If a slide's content would overflow its frame, ProClose automatically rescales it down so nothing gets cut off at the edges. The one exception is a slide you have manually repositioned with the canvas editor's freeform layout tools, once you have laid out a slide by hand, the app leaves your layout exactly as you left it rather than auto-fitting around it.

#Presenting in the room versus sending it on

Presenting live, in the room or on a screen share, is one delivery path. It is not the only one. When the meeting is not the moment, or the client wants to review on their own time, use the Download / Export menu instead, options like printing to PDF, downloading as HTML, or emailing the proposal directly. See Print or save as PDF and Email a proposal for those paths.
