Edit presentation slides

A Presentation course is built on one step, Slides: a list of everything in the course on the left and the selected item on the right. Slides, quizzes, videos, interactions and modules all live in that list, so there is no separate Lessons step. The steps of a Presentation course are Course, Branding, Slides, Settings and Export.

Before you start

Create the course with the Format set to Presentation: see Create a course and describe it.

Add your first slides

1. Open the Slides step. An empty course shows "This presentation has no slides yet." and one button, Add slides. Click it to open the Add your slides panel with two tabs, From PDF and From my AI chat. It opens on From my AI chat if the course brief has a source set, otherwise on From PDF. Cancel closes the panel.

   

2. To keep your own design, stay on From PDF. In PowerPoint, choose File, Export, PDF. Then drop the PDF on the area or click Choose PDF file. The panel shows how many slides are ready; click Add slides to put them in the course. Animations and transitions are not kept.
3. To get new, consistent slides from your AI chat, switch to From my AI chat. The tab has three parts:
   • 1 · What to make: set Number of slides (5 to 40), or tick Let AI decide and the chat picks the number to fit your material. Under the source buttons pick I will attach my deck (attach the PDF or PPTX in your chat), Paste text or No source. These settings are kept if you leave and come back.
   • 2 · Run it in your chat: click Copy prompt, paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, attach your deck if you chose to, and send.
   • 3 · Bring the answer back: paste the whole HTML answer into Paste the AI response, or click Upload the .html file if your chat gave you a file (up to 2 MB).
   • Click Add slides. Once the answer is in, the button shows the number, for example Add 12 slides.

Once the course has its first slide, you add slides with + in the list or replace them from the course menu (⋯). The same Add your slides panel opens there.

Work with the list and the stage

The header of the list counts the items in the course, for example 6 items. Point at the number to see what they are, for example 5 slides · 1 quiz. Click an item to select it: it opens on the stage on the right, and the address of the page remembers it, so a reload shows the same item.

For a selected slide the stage shows its number, for example Slide 2 of 5, a large preview and these actions:

• To change the slide title, click it (or the pencil next to it), type and press Enter. Escape cancels. Preview as learner shows the item as a learner sees it. A slide from a PDF has no page of its own, so it opens the course preview in a new tab.
• Time on slide sets how long the slide takes. The time is shown in the list, for example Slide · 2 min.
• Move up and Move down change the order. You can also drag an item in the list. A dragged item joins the module of the place where you drop it.
• Start a new module here starts a new module with this slide.
• Full-screen preview opens the slides one by one, with zoom and Slide info.
• Delete slide removes the slide after you confirm.

To give your slides a voice-over, see Add narration to presentation slides.

Add a quiz, video or other item between slides

1. Point at an item in the list (on a touch screen it is always visible) and click the + under it. With a keyboard, Tab to the + button.

   

2. Pick Quiz, Interaction, Video, Text lesson or Final test. Scenario appears only when branching scenarios are available on your account. The new item lands right after the item you clicked, with a name such as Quiz after slide 2, and is selected straight away.
3. Fill it in on the stage. The editors open in place, not in a window: the quiz editor with Generate with AI and Write questions, the video fields with Add a quiz after this video, and the interaction or text lesson editor. Click Save when you are done. A scenario is the exception: it still opens in its own window from Edit scenario on the stage.

   

The stage of an item that is not a slide also has Type (change the kind of item), Time, Move up, Move down, Start a new module here, Duplicate and Delete. Its badge says where it is, for example Quiz after slide 2.

If you have unsaved changes on the stage and select another item, add an item or leave the step, LMSable asks Save your changes? Choose Save, Discard or Cancel.

More about each editor: Build a quiz lesson, Add a video lesson and Choose the right interaction type.

Add slides in the middle or at the end

1. Click + under the item after which the slides should go and pick Add slides here. To add at the end, open the course menu (⋯ in the header of the list) and pick Add slides at the end.
2. The Add slides panel opens on the stage and the list shows New slides will be inserted here at the chosen place. Pick From PDF or From my AI chat and add the file or the AI answer, as for the first slides.
3. Under Where, check the place:
   • Here, after "...": new slides go right after this item. Everything else keeps its order.
   • At the end: new slides go after the last item of the course.
   • Replace all slides: see the next section.
4. Click the button with the number, for example Add 8 slides.

Replace all slides

Use this when you have a new version of your deck. Only the slides are swapped: quizzes, videos, interactions, other items and modules stay.

1. Open the course menu (⋯ in the header of the list) and pick Replace all slides. The menu reminds you: Replacing keeps quizzes, videos and modules.
2. Choose the new PDF or paste the new AI answer. The panel sums up what will happen, for example 5 slides will be replaced by 4. 1 quiz and 2 modules stay.

   

3. Click Replace 5 slides with 4 (the numbers match your course) and confirm.

Every other item keeps its place by slide number: a quiz that was after slide 2 is after slide 2 of the new deck. If the new deck has fewer slides, items that were further on move to after its last slide, and the panel tells you before you confirm, for example 1 item now after slide 3 or later will move to after slide 2. Items that were before the first slide stay before it. With a PDF, the new slides take the module names of the old slides with the same numbers. With an AI answer, module names come from the answer. When it is done, a message such as 5 slides replaced with 4. Kept: 1 quiz. confirms the result.

The upload happens in the background first, so if it stops halfway, your course does not change.

Modules

Modules group the items of the list, for example Module 1 · Everyday safety.

• To rename a module, click its name in the list, type the new name and press Enter.
• To start a module, use Start a new module here on the stage (the module starts with the selected item) or in the + menu (it starts with the next item). Give it a name and click Start module.
• To join a module with the one above, click Merge with previous module under its header.
• To move a whole module, use the up and down arrows under its header. The arrow next to the module name folds it. Expand all modules and Collapse all modules are in the course menu (⋯).

Free and Pro

• Free: a Presentation course is slides only. In the + menu, items other than slides carry a Pro badge: you can see them, but clicking one only explains that it is part of Pro and links to the plans. Quizzes, videos and other items added before stay in the course. The header of the list shows the slide limit, for example 5 / 25 slides.
• Pro: you can add quizzes, interactions, videos, text lessons and a final test between slides, and use up to 60 slides per course.

When the new slides would go over your plan's limit, the button is greyed out and the panel says why, for example That would make 30 slides, the limit is 25. All limits: Course and storage limits.

On a phone

On a narrow screen you see either the list or the selected item. Tap an item to open it full width, and tap ← All items to go back to the list. The + menu opens as a panel from the bottom of the screen.

What you should see

The list shows each item with its number, a thumbnail and a short description, for example Slide · 2 min or Quiz · 3 questions · pass 80%. An item without content says empty. The row above the list counts how many items are ready, for example All 6 ready.

If something goes wrong

• The AI answer is rejected: paste the whole HTML document from your chat, without any text before or after it, or upload the .html file your chat created.
• The add button is greyed out: read the line under it. You may need to choose a file or paste the answer first, or the slides would go over your plan's limit.
• A Pro badge in the + menu: on Free, a Presentation course holds slides only. See Free and Pro.
• You cannot see the + button: point at the item or Tab to it. It sits under each item of the list.
