Backups And Recovery

If you've deleted a presentation or want to reverse recent changes from an existing one, restoring a previous version of your document is a simple process on Presenter for iPhone.

You have various options for recovering your previous work, such as through the iA Presenter app or iCloud. iA Presenter for iOS comes with built-in support for iCloud Drive. In addition to having your documents synchronize across devices, you’ll also benefit from iCloud online recovery tools.

Revert to an Older Version

iOS Undo Function

The first step you should try to revert recent changes is to use the iOS Undo function.

While you're in your document, shake your phone from left to right to undo the most recent action you've taken, such as deleting a paragraph.

Browse iCloud Versions

If you use iCloud, you can access previous versions by using the Browse Versions feature.

Simply tap on the file's name in the Toolbar (center), then select Browse Versions.

Browse Local Backups

Another way to recover your previous changes in a document is via the Browse Backups function.

To locate a backup, just like for versions, tap on the file's name in the Toolbar (center), then select Browse Text Backups.

Select the desired backup from the list, then press Restore Text.
