Hi!  
I love using Aha and thus far, I’ve just embedded them into PPT, which works fine. I would prefer to just use Aha to present the entire deck though. I have a friend who does this and it works great, except for one problem. The participants can click ahead in her deck. Is there a way to lock that so they do not have access to what is coming up?

Hi, thank you for using AhaSlides!

About participants clicking ahead when presenting, it could be that your friend used this feature: [Setting up a Self-Paced presentation on AhaSlides](https://help.ahaslides.com/portal/en/kb/articles/setting-up-a-self-paced-presentation-on-ahaslides) (set “Who takes the lead” to “Audience (self-paced)”). If this feature is set to “Presenter”, participants are automatically kept on the same slide as the presenter and can’t advance on their own.

If this is not the case, please ask them to contact us via [hi@ahaslides.com](mailto:hi@ahaslides.com) for further assistance.

Kind regards,

Nathan
