You can present your presentation with a custom-set starting point from anywhere in your presentation’s structure. You can create a custom starting point out of any frame, topic, subtopic, page, or animation in the presentation timeline. This allows you to take control of your presentation’s flow and direction so you can reveal content to your audience at just the right moment.

1. Navigate to the place in your canvas where you’d like your presentation to start.
2. Right-click (CMD/CTRL+click) on the thumbnail of the topic, subtopic, or page in the left sidebar.
3. Select Set as starting point from the context menu.*
4. An icon will appear in the left sidebar, and on your canvas, to show where the starting point was added.

*You can also add a custom starting point directly from the thumbnail preview in the left sidebar by clicking the three dots and selecting Set custom starting point from the dropdown menu.
