Creating a slideshow works similarly to creating a theory page. Learn more about creating theory pages here.

In the Author environment, click on the tab "Slideshow". Next, click on the "New" button.

You will now see a screen with four fields:

Name: Give your new slideshow a name.
Theme: Choose the colour scheme of your slideshow.

Position: At first, you see a dropdown menu where you need to select a chapter. Once you select the chapter, you will see a second menu where you need to select a subchapter.

Status: Do you want to publish your slideshow already? Publishing it means it can be used by Teachers, and subsequently Students. Is it just a draft? You can leave it unpublished, but remember to publish it when you are ready!

Creating new slides

You will see that your slideshow has no slides yet. Click on "Add slide" to start creating a new slide.

An input field will appear. Give your new slide a name. Click the "Save" button to save.

You have now created a new slide, but it is still empty. Click on the "Edit" icon to start adding text. Adding text works the same way as when creating a theory page.

In the slides tab, you can edit the texts for each slide and use other options to edit the slides, but you can also change the order in which the slides appear. To change this order, simply drag the slides to the desired position by the handles next to them.

The order is saved automatically. You can also choose whether you want to display the slide numbers before the slide names.

You can preview your slide by clicking the "View" icon or by clicking the "View slideshow" button in the top-right of the screen.

Adding images, video, code, and tables works in the same way as when creating a theory page.
