Exporting Presentations

Matt Crinklaw-Vogt edited this page Aug 29, 2013 · 9 revisions

There are two types of export.

  1. Exporting a presentation strictly for viewing
  2. Exporting a presentation so you can back it up, import it later or edit it on a different computer

Exporting a presentation strictly for viewing

After clicking "Present" press Ctrl+S (windows) or Command+S (mac) to save the presentation to your local machine. This will save your presentation as a web archive or HTML page and accompanying folder that you can use to present from.

Exporting for later import / to edit on a different machine

If you want to export your presentation so you can edit it on a different machine, follow these steps:

1. Click the Strut button and select Export...

Export

2. Click the download button that appears in the Export popup* ( Safari users read the note below)

download

You'll now have a .json file which you will be able to import on a different computer.

Special Case: Exporting in Safari

If you have flash enabled in Safari then your export popup and download button will look like the following:

safari export flash

Click the button labeled "Save to Disk" to download the export.

Special Case: Exporting in Safari Without Flash

If all of the above attempts at exporting fail then Safari will finally fall back to this:

safari export

You'll want to highlight all of the text in the textbox, copy it and paste it into a blank and plain (not rich) text file that you can save. This is unfortunate but it is the state of things until Safari supports the download attribute.
