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.

Final fallback

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 text file that you can save. This is unfortunate but it is the state of things until Safari supports the download attribute.
