Decks for audiences

Make a version of a deck for each audience, leaving out slides it may not see, in words written for it, and checked.

A deck can be made for audiences just as a film can. Each audience gets its own version: slides it may not see are left out, it can read words written for it, and the version is checked against its rules before it can be shared. See What audiences are.

Before you start

  • A deck: Make a deck.
  • Signed in to the service, so the editor can show your organisation's audiences.

In the app

  1. Open the deck and choose the Audiences tab on the right.
  2. Click Make a version on each audience the deck is for. It changes to Made for them.
  3. Check what it sees, how many slides it keeps and why the others are left out.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Write the words for the audience to have its words rewritten for it (optional).
  6. Click Build for the audience. Its version is built and checked.
  7. Read the result: Passed its check, or what it found.
  8. Use Present or PDF to look at the version, Share for review to send it to the web app, or Publish for anyone when it may be public.

Mark what a slide shows

  1. Select the slide and find Who sees this slide on the Slide panel.
  2. Under What it shows, click each label that applies.
  3. Under The versions it is in, click an audience to leave the slide out of its version by hand.
  4. Open reads under an audience's name to give it its own heading and words for this slide.

A deck marked Concept counts as roadmap throughout.

In the terminal

Write words for an audience:

showreel audience write --deck launch --for internal-stakeholders

Build the version for one or more audiences, each checked:

showreel deck build launch --for internal-stakeholders

Share it, and publish it at a link for your organisation:

showreel deck share launch --for internal-stakeholders --publish

A version lands in the deck's out folder as <deck>-<audience>.html and .pdf, with a record of its check.

What the check cannot see

The check reads every slide's words. Screenshots are pictures, which it cannot read. Take them from a masked recording, or look at them yourself before sharing. See The audience check.
