Interactive elements

Quizzes, polls, tabs, flip cards, timers and more: elements your audience can use while you present.

Available on Pro and BusinessUpdated November 8, 2026

Interactive elements are slides that react: a Quiz, a Poll, Tabs, Flip cards, a Timer, a Calculator and more. They work when you present and on a web link.

Steps

  1. 1Open Insert → Interactive and click a kind. It goes onto a new slide after the current one.
  2. 2Click a text in it to type there. A text that is a control itself, such as a tab's name or a quiz answer, is typed with a double click.
  3. 3To change its content or build, ask the AI in the prompt, for example "add a fourth answer".
  4. 4Press Present to try it the way your audience will.

Pro & Business: Adding interactive elements is part of Pro and Business. A deck that has them still shows and presents them on every plan.

Good to know

  • Using the controls in the editor sets the state the slide opens with.
  • In a PDF an interactive element is shown as it stands; its interactions are off.
  • Move and size it like any other element.
