Exporting Presentations
There are two types of export.
- Exporting a presentation strictly for viewing
- Exporting a presentation so you can back it up, import it later or edit it on a different computer
After clicking "Present" press Ctrl+S (windows) or Command+S (mac) to save the presentation to your local machine. This will save your presentation as a web archive or HTML page and accompanying folder that you can use to present from.
If you want to export your presentation so you can edit it on a different machine, follow these steps:
1. Click the Strut button and select Export...
2. Click the download button that appears in the Export popup* ( Safari users read the note below)
You'll now have a .json file which you will be able to import on a different computer.

Convert a rich text file to a plain text file in TextEdit:
