Seidat terminology
Speak like true Seidateer using Seidat terms.
General
Media bank
A place where all the images and videos of your team are stored. You can load images and videos (videos are only included for Plus licenses or above) to the media bank and then all workspace members can use them in the presentations of the workspace.
Presentation
Presentations consist of several slides in a matrix.
Offline
Presentations can be exported to run without an internet connection, but they cannot be edited. Embedded content will not play without an internet connection. When editing, your save icon will turn red if there is no connection, and in presentation mode, it says "Offline" on the top toolbar.
Online
Creating, editing, and presenting presentations happens in online mode. All changes will happen in real time.
Slide
One page, the basic unit of the presentation.
Stack
A stack of slides on top of each other. You can go more in-depth into the topic at the stack.
Brand
Brand settings will help the company to keep fonts and colors under control. Only fonts created in the brand editor can be added to the slides. Brand settings can be managed in the brand editor by people with corresponding user access levels.
Tag
Tags can be set to the workspace, and those tags can be added to any presentation. Tags help to find presentations when the amount of presentations increases.
Dashboard
View where you can see all the presentations you have access to.
Editing
Content area
The content area is sized 1280 x 720 pixels. You can see a white outline of the content area in the slide editor. All content within the area is always visible regardless of the screen size. You can place content outside the content area also and the content will be visible to changing degree based on the aspect ratio of the screen.
Edit mode
Mode to edit presentations. Can be accessed by pressing the pen-icon from the slide map or matrix-icon from the dashboard.
Slide bank
You can add slides to any presentation from any other presentation or smart slide bank with Slide bank.
Slide map
You can see the whole presentation and its structure in the Slide map. All the slides are thumbnails from the actual page. You can create, arrange, copy+paste, and delete slides in the slide map.
Keyboard shortcuts
These shortcuts help the workflow.
Linking
Internal link
The internal link between slides.
External link
Link, which target is outside the presentation, e.g., website or video on YouTube.
Target slide
A slide within the presentation that opens when you press the internal link in play mode.
Inactive link
A link to a deleted slide
Sharing and downloading
Download (Export)
You can export presentations to save them locally and present them offline. Can be accessed from the Share Presentation page from the left toolbar or from the dashboard by pressing the share icon.
Share
Sharable link. Always secure, removable, and unique. The recipient of the link can navigate freely within the presentation. You can create as many Share links as you wish.
Live share
Sharable link. Always secure, removable, and unique. The recipient of the link cannot navigate the presentation at all. The presenter is in charge of the navigation.
Share icon
The icon on the left toolbar and dashboard.
The presentation can be converted into PDF or printed. Both are located under presentation sharing -> Export / PDF.
Smart slides
Smart slide
Smart slides help to keep up the presentations of the organization. One smart slide can be used in multiple presentations at the same time. Once you edit a smart slide, all the changes happen in real-time in all of the corresponding slides in the workspace. Only the content of the slide is linked, not the structure of the presentation.
Hotspots will be copied with the smart slide, and if the presentation where the smart slide was used has also the pages where the internal links were created, then the linking works. If the target slide is missing, then the linking will not work. External links work normally.
Hotspots can be edited separately after the slide has been copied and pasted somewhere because they are not linked to the slide.
Smart slide collection
Can be accessed from the dashboard by pressing the smart slide icon on the top toolbar. You can see all the smart slides the workspace members have created. You can also merge, delete and create new smart slides here.
Make smart slide
You can convert a regular slide you have created from any presentation to a smart slide by pressing the small dots on the top right of the thumbnail when you move your mouse over it. Once the smart slide has been created it can be used in any presentation. If you have converted multiple slides from normal slides to smart slides, it is suggested that all the similar slides are merged into one smart slide.
Detach smart slide
Detach the slide from the smart slide. After the slide has been detached it can be edited without other slides changing. To detach the slide, move your mouse over the slide you want to detach in the slide bank and press the small dots on the top right corner. Choose from the list "Detach from the smart slide".
Merge/merging smart slides
You can merge multiple smart slides into one smart slide. Merge similar pages to make managing the smart slides easier. You can see the thumbnails of the slides you are merging. Make sure you are not merging slides that are not supposed to be merged as this cannot be undone.
