You can select to edit a presentation from your Library or from the Class List where it is published. Typically, you can only edit presentations you have created or copied. However, if you are an instructor in a course where a presentation is published, you may be able to edit another user's presentation.
Editing a presentation is limited to:
• Creating, editing, or deleting polling or other media slides. • Adding slides from another presentation, either one you upload or one already resident in your library. • Rearranging the slides in the deck.
You cannot edit the base file's slides; those changes must be made in whatever program you used to generate them in the first place. EchoVideo does not have an editing function for uploaded slides / pages.
See Working with Slides and Presentations and its related articles for links and detailed instructions on uploading content and adding media, interactive slides, and polls to your presentation.
Alternatively, if you are an instructor and use Windows, you can download and install the Microsoft Office PowerPoint Ribbon add-on provided by EchoVideo. This add-on lets you create and edit a slide deck through PowerPoint, including adding activity slides, and then publish it to a class.
To edit a presentation
- Click on a Presentation tile in your Library or in a Collection where you have Edit Media permissions to open the Media Details page.
-
Click Media Editor from the left menu, as shown in the figure below.
The slide deck opens in the editor window.
- Drag and drop slides to rearrange them as needed.
- Use the ADD POLL and ADD SLIDES buttons to add each to the deck, as shown in the figure below.
- Hover your mouse over a poll to reveal buttons, shown in the figure below, for editing, viewing, and deleting the poll.
- Hover your mouse over a non-polling slide to reveal buttons to view or delete it.
- When finished, click the Back Arrow in the top-left corner to return to the Media Details page.
Your changes take effect immediately in the presentation and are reflected in any class that includes it.
As stated above, see Working with Slides and Presentations and its related articles for links and detailed instructions on uploading content and adding slides and activities to your presentation.
