# The Toolbar

The Toolbar runs down the left side of the editor. It holds everything you can add to a slide: Slide, Narration, Add Element, Uploads, Videos, Images, Form Fields, Text, Shapes, Stickers and Templates.

## Slide

Name your slide, add notes for yourself, and set how it auto-advances (either to the next slide in sequence or to a specific slide). You can also designate it a "Menu Slide," which appears as a dropdown menu in the top right corner of the presentation, and choose whether the Menu Button appears throughout the presentation.

**TIP: Name your slides.** It makes choosing button and slide destinations far easier, and it makes your analytics readable, because you can see exactly where viewers stopped watching.

## Narration

Record your own audio or generate an AI voiceover. To upload a file you already have, click Add Element and use the Audio Upload feature.

## Add Element

The full library of things you can drop onto a slide:

- **Upload Videos, Images,** and **Audio:** your own files
- **Stock Images**: thousands of free stock photos
- **Stock Videos:** royalty free footage, great for background videos
- **Dynamic Images**: a profile image placeholder that pulls in the sender's own picture from their iDecide Back Office. When a company's reps each have their own subscription, every rep's photo appears automatically without editing the presentation for each person.
- **Text Boxes**, **Shapes** and **Stickers**
- **Sliders:** "On a scale of 1 through 10..."
- **Logo Reveals:**rub your screen to reveal the image behind it
- **Embeds:** a live website inside your presentation
- **Form Fields:** so viewers can enter their information

## Uploads

Click **Uploads**, then **Add File** to bring in your own images, videos, and audio. This is where your branding and custom visuals go.

## Videos

 Filter your view to see only your uploaded videos or choose from stock videos available.

## Images

Filter your view to images you've upload or select from thousands of available stock images. You see your own uploads alongside our stock library in the same place.

## Form Fields

Add customizable fields for viewers to fill in during the presentation. Turn on Track Choice to reference their actual answers throughout the presentation using the personalization feature!

## Text

Place custom text anywhere: headlines, callouts, captions, supporting detail.

## Shapes

Solid shapes, outlines, gradients, abstract designs and image shapes. Image Shapes frame a photo inside a shape, which is the quickest way to make a plain image look designed.

## Stickers

Emojis and doodles, for when a slide needs a bit of personality.

## Templates

Pre built slides to start from when you are short on time or stuck. See [Slide Templates](/knowledge/myidecide-builder/how-to-use-each-slide-type/).

**Tip:** Use the search inside Add Element rather than scrolling the stock library. There are thousands of images and videos, and browsing them is the fastest way to lose an afternoon.
