The Prezi Present editor is where you can build, share and present your presentation. All of its elements are intuitively designed for ease in creation and collaboration. Here's our quick start guide to the Prezi Present editor and its main components. Happy editing!
Top toolbar
The top toolbar is where you can build and customize your presentation. From here, you can access additional options in the hamburger menu, change the title, and add/customize your content. It is also where you can present, share, and collaborate or turn your presentation into a video.
From the hamburger menu in the top left corner, you can take multiple actions such as go back to the dashboard, start a new presentation, make a copy, save your work, export to PDF, search for elements within the presentation, set how you navigate in the editor, enable spell check, access keyboard shortcuts and more.
From the Style menu you can update your background image, set a color theme, update the text style, apply brand kit and watermark. You can also add a new frame of content, text, media (images, videos, audio, chart, slides), shapes, lines and dynamic visual elements with storyblocks. From the More menu you can add topics, animations, comments, presenter notes and access your personal library.
Preview your presentation by clicking on the eye icon, start presenting on the blue button and access the Sharing options to create a view link, export to PDF, share a broadcast link or invite other users to collaborate.
Context toolbar and menu
This toolbar changes depending on what you are editing in your presentation. You can use it to format text, align and edit the style of objects on your canvas, insert links and animations, add the item to your library, and crop images.
The context menu (right-clicking on an object on the canvas) also changes depending on the type of content you selected. Exclusively from here you can access the options to move items forward and backward, enable and disable text autofit and lock an object.

Left sidebar
The timeline on the left sidebar allows you to add new frames, as well as to see and edit the step by step structure of your presentation. It provides a preview of the order your content and animations will appear and automatically changes to show where you are in your presentation's structure. It can also be hidden to provide more space for editing on the canvas.
From here you can click on a thumbnail to navigate to the specific content, or click and drag to reorder your frames. You can also add or remove animations, audio or presenter notes to a given frame.
Lastly, you can set any frame as the starting point, and your presentation will start from there onwards.

Navigation bar
The navigation bar is always visible in the bottom center of the screen while you’re in the editor. From here, you can quickly switch between the Select and Hand tools, navigate to the previous and next step in your presentation’s timeline, return to the overview and zoom in and out.
