Share and export

Two ways to get a presentation to somebody, and they behave differently in the way that matters.

A link

Stays live. It shows the presentation as it is now, so a change you make afterwards reaches whoever you sent it to. You can stop sharing at any point, and deleting the project closes the link with it.

A file

A copy, frozen at the moment you exported it. Nothing you do afterwards changes it — which is exactly right for something already sent, and exactly wrong if you expected them to see your correction.

Which to use

A link when the thing is still moving, or when you want to be able to take it back. A file when it is finished, or when the recipient needs it offline — in a room with no network, or in an inbox that will still have it in a year.

Exporting

Two formats, and the dialog lets you pick which slides to include:

PDF

For reading, and for anything that has to look identical everywhere. It opens your browser's print dialog with the slides laid out — choose Save as PDF there.

Images

A PNG for a single frame, a ZIP when there are several. This is the one for social posts and carousels. It works for freely designed slides; if none of the slides you picked are, the dialog says so.

Taking something back

Stop sharing, and the link stops working. Deleting a project does the same thing — the link closes with it, rather than outliving the material behind it.

A file you already sent cannot be recalled. That is not an ANVL limitation; it is what a file is.
