Sometimes we want to explain a concept or give a definition: and then reveal an example. I’ve missed this feature here.

Hi Julia,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts with us!

We understand that you’d like the ability to explain a concept or give a definition, and then reveal an example afterward. Could you kindly provide more details on how you envision this feature working? For instance, would you like to reveal the example after a specific time delay, or by clicking a button during the presentation? Any additional context you can provide will help us better understand how to implement this in a way that meets your needs.

For now, a workaround would be to add an image slide immediately after the slide where you explain a concept or give a definition.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Nathan

Another solution might be to use animations. However at the moment they are started automatically. Maybe add an option to start all animations after a first click and the animated objects are hidden until then?

To make it clear: My idea is rather a feature request 🙂
