Glossary
The words ANVL uses for its own parts — brand kit, workspace, deck, portal — and what each of them means here.
Words ANVL uses in a particular way. Where a term means something narrower here than it does generally, that is what this page is for.
- Brand kit
Your colours, typefaces, logo, tone and image style. Not a settings page: it is what every presentation, post and page is built out of. See Brand kit.
- Workspace
Your company inside ANVL — the people, their roles, and the material they share. Everything that affects everyone lives here.
- Account
Your own sign-in and security. Everything that affects only you.
- Seat
One person in a workspace. Every plan includes unlimited users; seats only count toward an operational limit of 100 per workspace, and an invitation that has not been answered counts too. See Seats.
- Deck
A presentation. Used loosely for any of the multi-slide formats — pitch, sales deck, report.
- Slide
One page of a deck. Always "slide" in ANVL — never sheet, page or frame.
- Conversation
What the box on Home opens into. Ask, plan, discuss, order — and it is saved, so you can come back to it. See Ask ANVL.
- Question card
ANVL asking, inside a conversation, for the one thing it cannot guess before it proposes a deck — who it is for, what it should achieve — with answers you can click. See Ordering in the conversation.
- Proposal card
The card headed "Here is how I picture the pitch deck": the slides ANVL has in mind, what you have said, and what it is missing. Nothing is built until you press the button on it.
- Saved fact
Something lasting about your company that you said in a conversation and chose to keep when asked. Listed under "From your conversations" in Superbrain. Never a budget, a date or a slide count for the thing you are building. See What ANVL saves about you.
- Superbrain
What ANVL has worked out about you from your brand kit and your corrections, plus the facts you chose to save from conversations, and takes with it into what it generates. See Superbrain.
- Brand portal
A public page showing your brand, that you can send to a supplier without giving them an account. See The public brand portal.
- Layout
The shape of one slide, saved for reuse. Not to be confused with a template.
- Template
A whole presentation saved to start from again.
- Review
Asking someone to approve something before it goes out. Anyone can ask, and whoever it was sent to answers — a person, a group, or the workspace's admins when nobody is named. See Projects and review.
- Passkey
The fingerprint, face or screen lock you sign in with instead of a password. See Passkeys.
- Presenter view
The second window with your notes, the next slide and a clock, on your screen only.
