What Are Auto and Manual Modes in Present?
Auto and manual mode determine the types of changes that you can make while designing the presentation flow.
See What Is a Presentation Flow?
The first time that you open a workbook's presentation flow in Present, by default the presentation flow's properties and settings match those of the workbook design in Visualize. Auto mode is enabled the first time you open a workbook's presentation flow.
In auto mode, you can choose to hide a canvas and change many presentation flow properties at the workbook or canvas level, for example show or hide the workbook's header bar, keep a canvas' filter selections, and so on. It's important to remember that these changes aren't applied to the workbook or canvas in Visualize.
- Rename a canvas.
- Duplicate a canvas.
- Delete a canvas.
- Change the position of a canvas
- Choose to display a new canvas added in Visualize.
- Hide a visualization on a canvas.
Switching from manual mode to auto mode resets any of the manual changes listed above that you made to the presentation flow to match the workbook settings in Visualize. Switching from manual mode to auto mode preserves all other workbook or canvas-level properties that you set.
Switching from auto mode to manual mode allows you to make the additional changes listed above. Any of these changes that you make differ from the workbook settings in Visualize.
