Presenton separates story planning from slide generation. That gives you a useful checkpoint: approve the narrative before spending time on slide design. In the current application, the outline is editable and can also be generated with AI assistance. Once you approve it, Presenton maps the story to a selected template, creates supported slide elements, fetches configured assets, and prepares the presentation for editing and export.

​
1. Add direction and sources

Provide a topic or brief. Add relevant files or structured input when the deck must reflect existing material. Generation controls can further describe tone, language, length, and visual preferences. Your checkpoint: Is the goal clear, and is the source focused enough to support it?

​
2. Review the outline

Presenton proposes the narrative before building the deck. Reorder sections, remove weak ideas, and add missing details while the deck is still easy to reshape. Your checkpoint: Would this outline make sense without seeing the slides?

​
3. Generate the slides

Presenton maps the approved story into the selected presentation format and template. It creates supported text, images, shapes, tables, charts, and layout elements for each slide. Your checkpoint: Does the template suit the audience and content density?

​
4. Edit and verify

Refine the generated deck using the editing tools available in your deployment mode. Check names, dates, figures, claims, citations, layout, and image relevance. Editing changes the generated presentation. It does not automatically send the deck back to the outline step; outline review happens before generation, and outline regeneration is a separate outline-page action. Your checkpoint: Could someone act on incorrect content? If yes, verify it against the original source.

​
5. Export

Export to PPTX when the deck needs continued editing in PowerPoint-compatible software. Export to PDF when you need a fixed-layout review or delivery copy.

What changes by deployment mode

Presenton manages the application, providers, processing, storage, and export runtime. Browser and API workflows use Cloud capabilities and the v3 API.
Your deployment uses the providers, storage, authentication, and compute you configure. Browser and automation workflows use the self-hosted application and v1 API.
