My latest changes are missing
- Stop editing and refresh the presentation to check its latest saved state.
- Confirm that you opened the correct presentation and account.
- If the presentation is shared or duplicated, make sure you are editing the intended copy.
- Duplicate the recovered presentation before making more changes if you are unsure which state is current.
An AI edit changes too much or targets the wrong item
- Select the slide or object you want to change before opening the assistant.
- Ask for one specific change at a time.
- Identify what must remain unchanged, such as the slide layout, wording, colors, or other objects.
- Undo an unwanted result before sending a more precise instruction.
On slide 4, shorten the selected paragraph to three bullets. Keep the figures, title, and layout unchanged.
Export does not finish
- Wait for any active generation or editing task to complete.
- Refresh the presentation, then try the export once more.
- Test a short presentation in the same format. If it exports, duplicate the affected presentation and remove groups of slides to identify the problematic slide.
- Try the other export format to determine whether the problem affects PPTX, PDF, or both.
The exported file looks different
- Open the file in the application your audience will use. PowerPoint, browser previews, and PDF viewers can render the same file differently.
- Check for text overflow, cropped images, substituted fonts, chart labels, table widths, and objects outside slide boundaries before export.
- Replace unavailable custom fonts with common fonts, or ask the workspace administrator whether the required fonts are installed.
- Compare the exported result with Presenton’s editor preview and note the slide numbers where they differ.
If you manage a self-hosted instance
- Confirm
/app_datais writable and has enough free disk space. - Check application and rendering logs when AI edits or exports fail.
- Verify the export runtime can reach its internal render page and required assets.
- Check available memory and confirm custom fonts are available to the renderer.
