Overview
The Presentation block is a slide-deck editor, a PowerPoint / Google Slides equivalent that lives inside Custral. Each deck is a sequence of slides built from typed elements (text, image, shape, drawing, and embedded records), positioned on a fixed canvas. Decks are stored alongside the record or dashboard they sit on, so a presentation can pull live data from your workspace through templates.How it works
A presentation is added as a block on a record detail page or a dashboard, the same way you add a Whiteboard or any other block. See Block Concepts for how blocks are configured. Inside the block you build slides element by element. Real-time collaboration is handled by the same sync engine that powers the Whiteboard, so multiple people can edit one deck at once. Three reusable configurations support the editor, each managed from Settings → Presentations:Templates
