Collaborating in Prezi Present

New article coming soon We've made a few improvements to the Prezi Present editor that affect this article, so this article is currently being updated. Learn more about what's new here.

Got a project you’re working on? In Prezi Present, you can work together with other users on a single presentation. What’s more, you can add comments to specific areas or objects to communicate feedback or ask questions.

Once you create a presentation, you can add users to edit, comment, or present your presentation. You can also set a presentation’s privacy to allow only collaborators and people with a view link to access your presentation.

 

Adding collaborators

To start collaborating on a presentation, its owner must first give users rights to edit, comment, or view. Please note that collaborators need a Prezi license to be able to edit a presentation.

Note: When adding a collaborator, make sure to use the email address associated with their Prezi account.

1. From the dashboard, click the cogwheel in the thumbnail of a presentation to get the detailed view screen. 

2. Click the Sharing and privacy button in the top-right corner of your screen. Alternatively, you can click the three dots in the bottom-right corner of the presentation’s thumbnail and select Sharing and privacy.

3. You’ll see the “Collaborators” pop-up window with the list of current collaborators.

4. Enter the name or email of the collaborator you wish to add, then select their rights.

5. Click Add when you’re done.

Adding your entire team as a collaborator

Part of a Prezi team? You also have the option of adding everyone in your team as a collaborator at once. If you are in the editor, simply choose Anyone on the team in the collaborator dialogue and set the presentation permissions for your team members.


You can also add access to your whole team if you open the presentation’s Sharing and privacy window from the dashboard. Your team’s name will appear among the collaborators, and you can set their rights there.
