Review is where you watch and click through your presentation exactly as your viewer will. It is the step that catches mistakes nobody else will tell you about. Publish puts it live and into your iDecide account.
Why Review matters #
The most common thing caught here is a button or slide that does not go where you meant it to:
- A Main Menu button that leads to the wrong section.
- The last slide of a section running straight into the next section instead of returning to the Main Menu.
Using the Review screen #
Click Review in the Navigation Bar. You get a preview window where you can watch and interact with the presentation just as your viewer will. Click the magnifying glass in the upper right of that window to make it bigger.
The controls below the preview:
- Forward and back arrows skip to the next or previous slide on the timeline. Note that this follows the linear order of the timeline, regardless of your slide destinations or button targets.
- Pause stops on the current slide.
- Curved arrow restarts from the Play Button slide.
At the bottom you have Publish Your myiDecide to move on, or Edit Current Slide to fix something you just spotted.
Publishing #
Click Publish Your myiDecide and you get a success screen. Your presentation is added to your iDecide Back Office automatically, so there is nothing to add manually, and it is assigned an iDecide iD that other iDecide users can use to send it.
To start sending it, see Sending a Personalized Link and Sending an iDecide in the App.
Can I edit after I publish? #
Yes, and we recommend it! Publish, send it to a few prospects, see what they respond to, then improve it. You can edit and republish as many times as you'd like, and every link you have already sent updates in real time. You never have to resend anything.
Troubleshooting: If you don't see your edits in the live presentation, publish it again - your changes remain private until you republish them.
Tip: Use the forward and back arrows after you leave the Review screen too. When you are fixing one slide near the end, skipping straight to it beats watching the whole presentation again every time.
