Moving through slides
Next and previous
Section titled “Next and previous”| To | Press | Or click |
|---|---|---|
| Show the next slide | Space, →, ↓ or Page Down | NEXT on the rack |
| Show the previous slide | ←, ↑ or Page Up | PREV on the rack |
| Show the first slide | Home | |
| Show the last slide | End |
- Navigation stops at the start and end of the presentation.
- Skipped slides are passed over.
- Each keypress moves one slide. Holding the key down doesn’t advance through more slides.
- Space always means Next in Present, even after you click a rack button.
- These keys don’t act while you’re typing in a field, such as the message composer.
The counter beside NEXT shows where you are, for example “4 / 25”. It counts only slides that aren’t skipped.
Before going live, the same keys choose the slide the service will start on, marked Starts here. Nothing is shown on the audience screens until you go live.
Jump to a slide
Section titled “Jump to a slide”- Click any slide in the slide list to show it, with the normal transition. This works for skipped slides too.
- Click a section in the song map to jump to it.
- Type a slide number, then press Return. A preview of that slide appears over the Program monitor while you type, and nothing changes on screen until you press Return. Press Delete to remove a digit, or Esc to cancel. You can also choose Presentation › Go to Slide….
Slide numbers match the slide list, including skipped slides.
Presenter clickers
Section titled “Presenter clickers”Most presenter clickers work without any setup, including Logitech, Kensington and Targus remotes.
| Clicker button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Next / Forward | Next slide |
| Back | Previous slide |
| Black screen | Blank (while live) |
| Start slideshow | Go Live; pressing it again ends live |
Navigating from other workspaces
Section titled “Navigating from other workspaces”While live, the Live bar in Design and Library has Prev and Next buttons. The keyboard navigation keys work only in Present, so arrow keys keep their usual meaning while you edit.
Anchor passages
Section titled “Anchor passages”When a sermon keeps returning to one main passage, you can mark it as the anchor passage. Right-click its group in Design and choose Set as Anchor Passage.
While live, when you’ve moved away from the anchor passage to show a supporting verse, press R (Return to Anchor) to go straight back to where you left the anchor. The slide list marks the slide to return to with Return here, and the status bar names the anchor passage.
