The Presentation info window is where you edit the details of a presentation — its name, description, cover thumbnail, and categories. To open it, open the presentation in the editor, click the presentation name in the editor header to open its menu, then choose Presentation info. The window contains four fields — Name, Description, Thumbnail image, and Categories — with Cancel and Save buttons at the bottom. Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.

Name

The Name field sets your presentation’s name. It accepts up to 100 characters.

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.

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.

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.
The same Name, Description, Thumbnail image, and Categories fields are also reachable from the Settings panel in the editor, where they are saved with a Save button as well.
