Presentation Maker

About this plugin

Presentation Maker automates the tedious work of organizing frames and connecting navigation flows, letting you focus on designing beautiful slides instead of wiring up prototypes.

HOW TO USE

For presentations with navigation buttons:

1. Create frames for your slides

2. Add components named "next" and "previous" (lowercase) for navigation

3. Run "Organize & Wire Presentation" to auto-connect everything

For simple click-through presentations:

1. Create your frames - no buttons needed

2. Run "Organize & Wire Presentation"

3. Each frame becomes clickable and advances to the next

To add a Table of Contents:

1. Create a frame named "toc" (lowercase) for your table of contents

2. Mark section start slides with pattern "XXX_name" (e.g., "001_intro", "010_features")

3. Add clickable elements (text, buttons, frames) in your "toc" frame

4. Name each element to match the section name (e.g., element "intro" links to "001_intro")

5. Run "Organize & Wire Presentation" to connect everything automatically

To add Smart Animate:

1. Select the frames you want to animate

2. Switch to the "Smart Animate" tab

3. Choose your settings and click "Apply Smart Animate to Selection"

NAMING CONVENTIONS

Navigation Buttons

- Name buttons exactly "next" or "previous" (lowercase) for automatic detection

Table of Contents

- TOC frame: Name it "toc" (lowercase)

- Section markers: Use "XXX_name" format (e.g., "001_introduction", "015_conclusion")

- XXX = any number (will auto-update to match position)

- name = section identifier

- TOC elements: Name clickable items to match section names (without numbers)

- Example: element named "introduction" links to "001_introduction"

- Example: element named "conclusion" links to "015_conclusion"

Regular Slides

- No special naming needed - plugin auto-numbers them sequentially

- Skips "toc" frame and preserves "XXX_name" section markers

TIPS

- Frames are organized left-to-right, top-to-bottom based on position

- Section markers (XXX_name) automatically renumber when you add/remove slides

- Use Smart Animate on a subset of slides without affecting the rest of your presentation

- Mix button-based and click-through slides in the same presentation

- TOC links work independently from next/previous navigation

⚙️ Requirements

- Navigation buttons must be named exactly "next" or "previous" (lowercase)

- Frames should be top-level (not nested inside other frames)

- For Smart Animate on selections, frames must have numeric names (001, 002...)

- TOC frame must be named "toc" and section markers must use "XXX_name" pattern

🎯 Perfect For

- Product demos and walkthroughs

- Pitch decks with navigable sections

- Educational slide shows with chapter navigation

- Portfolio presentations

- Interactive prototypes with multiple states

- Long presentations that need quick section access

Save hours of manual work and create professional presentation prototypes in minutes!
