The Thumbnails

The Thumbnails panel to the left of the Editor gives you a preview of all of your slides.

Whenever you create a slide, it will instantly appear in the Thumbnails panel. Open the panel with a swipe from left to right across the left edge of the screen, in the Editor.

You may see a small AA beneath the slide’s number, as in slide six above. That means Presenter had to scale down your text to make it fit the slide.

Thumbnail Layouts

You can choose from five aspect ratios:

Regular 4:3
Wide 16:9
Mobile 9:16
Portrait 4:5
Square 1:1

Here are some examples of different aspect ratios:

The thumbnails with the Regular 4:3 aspect ratio. The thumbnails with the Portrait 4:5 aspect ratio. The thumbnails with the Mobile 9:16 aspect ratio.

To change a thumbnail’s aspect ratio, go to Settings → Presentation → Layout → Fixed aspect ratio and select the aspect ratio you prefer.

Changing a Thumbnail’s Design

A thumbnail’s layout is determined by the theme you choose in the Design menu. If you change to a different theme, all thumbnails will automatically switch to the new layout.

Tip: Have you noticed how the thumbnail numbers change from blue to gold as you add more slides? This gradual color shift makes it easy to see your progress at a glance, regardless of the selected theme.
