Shape Carousel

Modified on Mon, 3 Aug at 1:59 PM

The Shape Carousel functionality of Power-user lets you group multiple shapes (icons, images, charts, buttons) into a single stack on your slide, with small arrows to click through them one at a time. Only one shape is visible at a time, the rest stay hidden until selected. It offers many use cases and possibilities:

  • Create status indicators (traffic lights, trend arrows, positive/negative, ...) 
  • Create reactive buttons (checkboxes, toggles, ...)
  • Offer users a pre-defined list of images they can choose from to illustrate certain slides from the company template
  • Create dynamic sliders so you can go more into details on a topic, depending on how the conversation goes

  • Select your Shape Carousel. A contextual window will become visible above, with navigation arrows to rotate the visibility of the objects from your Carousel.
