Turn your analysis into presentation-ready slides using Deepfield's built-in slide builder. Create professional decks with data visualizations, key findings, and formatted text.

Overview

The slide builder provides a drag-and-drop interface similar to presentation tools like Google Slides, but with direct integration to your survey data. Add charts, write content in rich text, and reorder slides to build your presentation.

Accessing the Slide Builder

Navigate to the Analysis tab of your study
Click the Slides button in the toolbar
The slide panel opens with a filmstrip view on the left and main editing area

Creating Slides

Add a New Slide

Click the Add Slide button to create a new slide. Each slide supports:

Title - Headline for the slide
Content - Rich text with markdown formatting
Charts - Up to 4 data visualizations per slide

Slide Layouts

The layout automatically adjusts based on content:

Charts	Layout
0	Text-only with centered content
1	Chart on left, text on right (50/50)
2	Title + text + 2 charts in grid
3	Title + text + 3 charts in grid
4+	2×2 grid with pagination controls

Editing Content

Title

Click the slide title to edit. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.

Text Content

Click the content area to open the rich text editor:

Bold - Ctrl/Cmd + B
Italic - Ctrl/Cmd + I
Bullet list - Use the toolbar
Numbered list - Use the toolbar

Content uses markdown formatting, so you can also type markdown syntax directly.

Tips for Effective Content

Keep titles concise (1 line)
Use bullet points for key findings
Limit text to essential insights—let charts tell the story
Include recommendations or implications

Adding Charts

Add a Chart to a Slide

Click Add Graph on any slide
The chart configuration panel opens from the right

Content Tips

One idea per slide - Keep slides focused
Chart + insight - Don't just show data, explain what it means
Consistent formatting - Use similar layouts for similar content
Limit text - Slides should support your narrative, not replace it

Exporting Slides

Export your completed slide deck for use in presentations:

PowerPoint - Download as .pptx for editing in PowerPoint
PDF - Download as .pdf for sharing or printing

Exports maintain formatting, charts, and layout as closely as possible to the slide builder preview.

💡 Tip: Review your slides in the preview before exporting to ensure charts and text appear as expected.
