Within the presentation browser you get a preview of the first slide of your presentation. As it seems, this only contains the background image (if present) and the preview is not updated, when the first slide changes.

This is a bit annoying, especially when the background images is identical for different presentation.

I suggest to include the text of the first slide on the preview and update it whenever the first slide changes.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion! If you’re referring to the thumbnail image of the presentation on the “My Presentation” page, you can actually change it by going to Settings \> Presentation info. This will allow you to set a custom thumbnail, and it should help in differentiating presentations with identical background images. However, I will still forward your feedback to our team, for future development!

If you’re asking about a different preview or issue, feel free to clarify, and I’d be happy to assist further!

Kind regards,

Nathan

Thanks - I haven’t found this functionality, yet. Might be nice to generate a thumbnail not only from images but also from a selected slide (or simply the first slide).
