Edit, present and export ​

The editor keeps the slide organizer on the left, preview in the center and element settings on the right. Use Animations to select several elements and apply shared effects, timing or a staggered sequence. The toolbar provides undo, playback and notes controls.

Add slide opens searchable layouts and master slides. Present opens the presenter console. Share manages the hosted presentation link and access settings. Export describes what each format preserves; advanced motion plays in Local HTML, while editable presentation formats omit Pitchdeck animations.

Using Pitchdeck in Figma Buzz ​

You can use Pitchdeck with frames in a Figma Buzz file:

  1. Run Pitchdeck from the Plugins panel in your Buzz file.
  2. Check the frames you want to use, then click Load Checked Slides. You can also click Load All Slides to include every frame listed in the sidebar.
  3. Click Figma's pop-out icon in the top-right corner of the plugin header when prompted.
  4. Use the full Pitchdeck window to edit your presentation, add animations, and access the export features.

The initial frame selector is designed for Buzz's narrow plugin sidebar. The full Pitchdeck editor and export options open in the wider pop-out window.
