  • Hyperlink
    • To make a hyperlink, start the declaration with <a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">, where www.example.com is the website you want to link to. Then, write what you want to be displayed for your link. Finish the hyperlink with </a>.

• Use manual line breaks carefully

  • You can manually insert line breaks by pressing enter. However, word wrapping may still occur automatically depending on how you export your demo.

• Write short notes for walkthroughs

  • When creating a demo to be exported as a walkthrough, we recommend keeping the size of the notes small. This improves readability and reduces the amount of the screen that gets covered by notes.

• Write detailed notes for live demos

  • When writing notes for a live demo, we recommend writing detailed and descriptive notes. Detailed notes can give your presenters better background information, context, and insight into what they’re presenting; which greatly increases the engagement of the presentation.
