Presenton v0.9.7-beta lets a self-hosted installation connect a Presenton account as an optional generation provider. It also improves cloud-backed Smart and Standard workflows, provider lifecycle handling, exports, and dashboard behavior. These notes follow the Docker v0.9.7-beta release, published August 17, 2026, and the electron-v0.9.7-beta release, published August 18, 2026.

​
At a glance

Connect Presenton

An administrator can approve a device code and use Presenton Cloud as an installation-wide generation provider.

Cloud-backed workflows

Standard and Smart generation, document uploads, templates, assets, and streamed results work through the connected account.

More reliable experience

Provider revalidation, generation-mode persistence, exports, dialogs, and dashboard actions receive targeted fixes.

​
What’s changed

​
Presenton account connection

  • Added Login with Presenton using an OAuth device flow that keeps the approval code out of callback URLs and browser history.
  • Added administrator-managed connect, status, revalidation, and disconnect flows in onboarding and Settings.
  • Stored delegated credentials as one encrypted, installation-wide provider record instead of per-user browser state.
  • Kept the self-hosted administrator session separate from the optional Presenton account connection.

​
Generation and templates

  • Added presenton as a text-provider selection for linked installations.
  • Routed linked Standard and Smart generation, document uploads, templates, and assistant requests through the Presenton Cloud workflow.
  • Mirrored completed cloud presentations into the local dashboard while preserving generation type, streamed results, and cloud asset URLs.
  • Added database migrations for the global provider record and for identifying existing Smart presentations correctly.

​
Interface, exports, and packaging

  • Improved provider connection states, mode-dialog positioning, dashboard action responsiveness, settings navigation, presentation deletion, and translation-overlay handling.
  • Fixed export package integration, release versioning, and related backend tests.
  • Added an Enterprise overview to the source README, covering Helm deployment, audit logs, centralized administration, and enterprise identity options.

​
API and data compatibility

The self-hosted API remains under /api/v1/. This release adds administrator-controlled provider endpoints under /api/v1/auth/presenton for status, device authorization, polling, and logout. These routes support the application UI and do not replace normal browser, REST API, or MCP authentication. Startup migrations create the global Presenton provider record and backfill the smart generation mode for presentations that already contain Smart HTML slides. Let migrations finish before starting concurrent instances.
Connecting a Presenton account sends generation inputs and uploaded documents used by that provider to Presenton Cloud. Choose a local or separately configured provider when content must remain within your own infrastructure.

​
Before upgrading

  1. Back up /app_data and any external database.
  2. Pull ghcr.io/presenton/presenton:latest, or select an explicit version or image digest for a controlled rollout.
  3. Let database migrations finish before starting additional application instances.
  4. Verify local administrator sign-in independently from the optional Presenton provider connection.
  5. Test Standard and Smart generation, document uploads, streamed completion, local dashboard copies, assets, and both export formats.
