Presentation editing on a phone is mostly about making targeted changes without losing the overall slide layout. A useful mobile editor should let you inspect the full slide, select objects and then make precise edits.
1. Open the presentation and review the slide layout
Start by swiping through the presentation and checking that the important slides render as expected.
2. Tap the object you want to edit
Text boxes, images and shapes should be selected as objects rather than treated as one flat picture of the slide.
3. Make targeted object changes
Typical edits include changing text, font size or family, bold/italic/underline, alignment, text colour, fill colour, image replacement, position and size.
4. Manage slides when the structure changes
You may need to add a blank slide, duplicate a slide, move it left or right, change its background or delete it.
5. Run the slideshow before sharing
A fullscreen slideshow is a quick way to check the final order and appearance after making changes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Making layout changes without checking the full slide
- Replacing an image without checking its crop and position
- Moving or deleting a slide without reviewing the final order
- Assuming every advanced desktop animation or embedded object will behave identically on mobile
