# Feature availability

> Compare Cloud and self-hosted Presenton capabilities before choosing a workflow.

The creation workflow is shared, but feature availability and operating responsibility differ. Use this page as a quick comparison, then open the detailed guide for the capability you plan to use.

<Note>
  Capabilities can vary by release, account, deployment configuration, and selected presentation format. Use the version selector and test a representative deck before committing to a production workflow.

</Warning>

## Confirm before you commit to a workflow

1. Select the documentation version that matches the release you use.
2. Check the detailed guide for the capability—not only this summary.
3. Test a representative presentation, template, edit, and export.
4. For automation, validate the exact endpoint and schema in the relevant OpenAPI reference.
