The Presentation info window is where you edit the details of a presentation — its description, cover thumbnail, and categories. To open it, open the presentation in the editor, click the menu icon next to the presentation name in the editor header, then choose Presentation info.

​
Rename your presentation

The presentation name isn’t part of the Presentation info window. To rename your presentation, click its name in the editor header and type the new name, or open the menu next to the name and choose Rename. A name can be up to 100 characters long.

​
Edit the presentation description

The Description field is a text area for a short summary of your presentation. It accepts up to 200 characters. The description appears alongside your thumbnail when you publish the presentation to the Template Library or share a copy with other users.

​
Edit the presentation thumbnail image

The Thumbnail image is your presentation’s custom cover image. By default AhaSlides generates a thumbnail automatically, but you can upload your own instead.
  1. In the Thumbnail image section, click Add image if no custom thumbnail is set yet. If one already exists, you will see the current image with Change image and Remove links instead.
  2. Upload or select your image, then crop it to the 16:9 frame.
  3. Click Save to apply the new thumbnail.
To go back to the automatically generated cover, click Remove in the Thumbnail image section. Your presentation reverts to the auto-generated thumbnail. Your thumbnail (together with your description) appears when you publish the presentation to the Template Library or share a copy with other users, and as the cover image on your presentation cards in the My Presentations dashboard.

​
Edit presentation categories

The Categories field is a set of selectable category buttons used to categorise your presentation — for example, when you publish it to the Template Library. Select the buttons that best describe your presentation, then click Save.
