Present your timeline

With Preceden's Presentation Mode, you can present your timeline to a group of people.

Say you want to present this timeline to an audience:

A timeline named Technology Roadmap in the Preceden editor, its Steven and Mary layers running below the editor's row of buttons

The problem is that the editor stays wrapped around it: the navigation links and all the other controls you use to work with your timeline. When you're presenting, chances are you don't want any of that on screen.

You could download your timeline as an image and add it to a PowerPoint presentation, but a timeline with a lot of content has to shrink to fit, which may distort it and make it difficult to read.

Using Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode solves both problems by showing just your timeline, from directly within Preceden.

To access it, click the Share menu button, then select Presentation Mode.

Then click the Enter Presentation Mode button:

The Presentation Mode dialog, suggesting full screen and offering an Enter Presentation Mode button

Your timeline now has the page to itself:

The same Technology Roadmap timeline in Presentation Mode, showing only the timeline with the editor's buttons hidden

The one other thing you may want to do is enter full screen mode in your browser to hide the browser window itself. Most browsers put this under View > Enter Full Screen Mode, give or take the exact wording.

When you're done, click anywhere on the page or press the escape key to return to the normal editor.

In the future we may add more advanced functionality such as automatic scrolling or revealing timeline events one at a time. If either of those interests you, or you have other ideas for improving it, don't hesitate to reach out: [email protected].
