• Slides: Preview the slide(s) that are included in your slideshow and the duration or amount of time the slides remain on screen.

Cautionary Notes

• Always save the design before publishing; publishing without saving may result in missing or outdated content.
• Confirm the canvas size matches the intended screen orientation, especially for landscape signage.
• When using the color picker, choose colors that maintain text readability against the background.
• Double-check event date, time, and location before publishing to avoid incorrect signage.
• Make sure the correct destinations are selected so the slide appears only where intended.

Tips for Efficiency

• Reuse existing images from the media library when possible to save time.
• Keep the layout simple: one strong image, one headline, and one detail block is often enough.
• Use the color dropper to quickly match text and background colors to the image.
• Center elements using the canvas guides to reduce manual alignment work.
• Save frequently while editing to prevent losing changes.
• If creating similar announcements often, use this design as a template for future slides.
