Decks

The deliverable: slides whose figures come from the workspace by source, presented or downloaded as PowerPoint.

Decks

A deck is where the work ends: the slides you take into the meeting. It is built in the workspace, and its figures are not pasted in — each chart, KPI and table on a slide is read by source from a chart, a spreadsheet cell or range, or an insight. When the data underneath moves, the deck says so instead of quietly showing an old number.

The deck page

Decks lists every deck. Open one to page through the slides, with the speaker notes and the History of versions — any version can be viewed, downloaded, or made current again.

  • Present shows the deck full screen from the selected slide; the arrow keys move, Escape leaves.
  • Download .pptx gives an editable PowerPoint: native charts with their data, real tables and text boxes.
  • Edit opens the editor: move and resize elements, edit text, align, duplicate slides. Saving writes a new version.

Figures by source

Hover a slide and a dot marks each sourced element; the header's "N sourced · k stale" toggle outlines them all. Hover an element for its card: where it was read from (linked), when, and whether it is still current. A stale figure is amber, a broken one (its source was deleted) red, and the thumbnails flag the slides that have one.

Update reads a stale figure again from its source, as a new version; Update all stale does the whole deck. Then re-read the slide's title and takeaways: the words around a figure are yours to keep true. In the editor, a sourced figure's data cannot be typed over — detach it first, and it becomes ordinary static data that no longer tracks its source.

Faster with an agent — "turn the market model into a five-slide readout: the size, the growth bridge, the regions, the sources." The agent saves any chart the story still needs, builds the slides in the house style with every figure sourced, checks nothing is stale, and gives you the link and the PowerPoint.
