Editing topics, subtopics, and pages in Prezi Present

You can learn more about structuring your presentation here, all about frames here and all about topics here.

Structuring with layouts

Save some time and create a beautifully aligned structure for your topics and subtopics by selecting a pre-designed layout to make your presentation organized and more visually pleasing.

Using topic layouts

To use an automatic layout, select a topic. Click Topic layout on the property bar that appears. Then, from the sidebar, click on the Overview layout you’d like to use. All of your topics will move to match this layout.

Using topic layout for Video

If you are creating a presentation with topics to use with Prezi Video, you can save some time by using one of the predefined templates. With the Topic layout sidebar open, scroll down to find layouts for Prezi Video. Please note that the layouts are only applicable to topics and not to frames.

Custom structure

In case you’d like to opt for a custom structure, you can freely move subtopics anywhere on your canvas by simply dragging and dropping them into place. This will not change the order the subtopics are presented in, only their position within the presentation.
