Present it live
Presentation mode turns any diagram into a live talk: the audience sees the diagram full screen and you advance it one step at a time while you speak.
-
Write speaker notes for each step: in the editor, select a step and fill in Speaker notes, or add
"notes"to the step in the JSON. They’re never shown in the diagram.{ "show": ["e2"], "flow": "e2", "caption": "The gateway asks the bank", "notes": "Mention that this call usually takes under 300 ms." } -
Press Present in the editor (or in a shared diagram’s viewer). A window opens for the audience.
-
Press N to open your notes in a second window, and drag it to your laptop screen. Press F for full screen on the projector.

The closing screen
Section titled “The closing screen”After the last step, advancing once more shows the audience a closing screen with “Thank you” and the diagram’s title. Press ← to go back to the diagram.
