Save/print/download your presentation

Saving

By default, the online Presentation Editor automatically saves your file every 2 seconds when you are working on it preventing your data loss if the program closes unexpectedly. If you co-edit the file in the Fast mode, the timer requests for updates 25 times a second and saves the changes if there are any. When the file is co-edited in the Strict mode, changes are automatically saved within 10-minute intervals. If you need, you can easily select the preferred co-editing mode or disable the Autosave feature on the Advanced Settings page.

To save your presentation manually in the current format and location,

• press the Save
  icon on the left side of the editor header, or
• use the Ctrl+S key combination, or
• click the File tab of the top toolbar and select the Save option.

In the desktop version, to prevent data loss if the program closes unexpectedly, you can turn on the Autorecover option on the Advanced Settings page.

Printing

To print out the current presentation,

• click the Print
  icon on the left side of the editor header, or

Adjust the following parameters in the Print window that opens:
