# Decks that open from a link and keep working after the meeting.

Share PowerPoint files, Markdown slides or decks your agent builds as web pages. People click through them in a browser with the charts still working, and the next draft goes to the same link.

## Why send a link instead of a file

A deck attached to an email is out of date the moment you fix a typo. It opens badly on a phone, and nothing on it moves anymore. And the client forwards v3 to their boss while you present v5.

A link always opens the current deck, and its charts keep working after the meeting. The client can go back and try a different budget split on their own.

## Bring the deck you have

| You have | What people get |
| --- | --- |
| A PowerPoint file (`.pptx`) | Slides they click through in the browser. You can edit the text there, too |
| Markdown with Marp slides | A deck, rendered from plain text your agent can edit easily |
| A deck built as a web page | Everything a page can do: live charts, sliders, video, keyboard shortcuts |
| A PDF export | Page by page, with the original a click away |

## Present it

1. **Publish the deck** Ask your agent to publish it, or drop the file on your workspace. For a web deck, ask for arrow-key navigation and presenter notes.
2. **Open it full screen** Switch off **Show controls** in the Share panel. The link then opens the deck on its own, with no bar on top.
3. **Share it with the room** Invite attendees by **Email**, or use a **Secret code** for a wider audience. Post the link in the meeting chat so people can follow on their own screens.
4. **Fix it after, at the same link** “Correct the Q3 ROAS to 3.4 and add the creative test result.” Anyone who saved the link now sees the corrected deck.

> **Know who’s seen it.** On an **Email** link, **Views** shows who opened the deck before the pitch, and when. On a **Secret code** link it counts visitors instead. If there are more of them than people in the room, someone forwarded it.

## A deck that stays current

For a monthly or quarterly review, keep one link per client. Each month the agent publishes the new numbers as the next version. Past reviews stay in the **Versions** list, so if someone asks what you showed in June, you can roll back to it.

## Limits

- PowerPoint and Word previews are drawn in the browser and can differ from Office in places. **Download** always gives the original file.
- Open pages don’t refresh by themselves; after an update, people reload the link.

## Make your own

Have these ready:

- Your outline, slide by slide
- The numbers and charts
- Brand colors and type
- Presenter notes

Then ask your agent:

```
Build this presentation as one self-contained HTML page. Slides keep a 16:9
shape and scale to fit the screen. Arrow keys, space and clicks move between
slides; O shows every slide; N shows my notes; there’s a slide counter and a
progress bar. On phones, show the slides as one scrolling page.

Make the charts interactive (hover values, click a legend to isolate a series)
and use only the numbers I give you.

Publish it privately to artifact.guru and give me the link.
```

## Questions

### Can I edit a PowerPoint in the browser?

Yes. The slide editor changes its text and layout, and saving makes a new version at the same link.

### Can people download the deck?

Yes, from the Download button in the bar on top, while Show controls is on. Switch controls off to show the deck alone.
