- Presentation Builder - does not display in presentation mode
We are fairly new users but have mastered most of the capabilities of Lucid Chart. We have used presentation builder on top of existing workflow process charts. Then used an embedded link in our intranet to enable non-Lucid users to view those charts as presentations.
However the charts do not appear in presentation mode until a user clicks the presentation icon. How can a presentation automatically appear in presentation mode?
Hi Steve thanks for posting in the community! Unfortunately it is not possible to link to a chart in presentation mode in Lucidchart. You can however export your presentation to Google Slides. Would you mind adding your idea to our feature request form ? We're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that.
Feel free to comment in this thread if you have any questions or create a new post if you'd like to discuss another topic. Thank you!
We need this feature too.
