Presenton builds a presentation as a sequence of slides. The outline controls the story; the template controls the visual system; each slide combines content with a suitable layout. Diagram showing a presentation made from an outline, template, slides, layouts, and editable elements

The building blocks

​
Standard and Smart formats

Standard presentations use predefined, reusable layouts. Choose this format when consistency and predictable content placement matter. A template provides the layout options used during generation.
The current open-source application documents Standard. It uses reusable layouts and represents each slide as structured JSON rendered onto a 1280 x 720 editing canvas. Components and nested elements retain their geometry and styling, allowing direct selection, rich-text editing, drag-and-drop movement, transforms, layering, data editing, and targeted AI changes.

​
What remains editable

Fix a story problem in the outline, a deck-wide visual problem in the template, and a local content problem on the slide. Choosing the right level avoids repetitive edits.

Work with templates

Prepare reusable layouts for branded generation.
