Decks

A deck is where the work ends: the slides you take into the meeting. It is built in the project, and its figures are not pasted in — each chart, KPI and table on a slide is read by source from a chart or a spreadsheet cell or range. When the data underneath moves, the deck says so instead of quietly showing an old number.

The deck page

Under Artifacts, filter to Decks; start one with New → Deck. Open a deck to page through the slides, with the speaker notes.

• Present shows the deck full screen from the selected slide; the arrow keys move, Escape leaves.
• History lists the versions; any one can be viewed, named, or made current again.
• ⋯ → Export → PowerPoint (.pptx) gives an editable PowerPoint: native charts with their data, real tables and text boxes.

If you can edit, the slides are editable where they are: select to move, resize or type. Insert adds charts and ranges from the project, text, shapes or a new slide; each thumbnail's menu duplicates, moves or deletes its slide. Every change is saved as a version.

Figures by source

The header's N sourced · k stale opens the list of the deck's sources; tick Outline sourced elements on the slide to see them all. Each one says where it was read from (linked), when, and whether it is still current. A stale figure is amber, a broken one (its source was deleted) red, and the thumbnails flag the slides that have one.

Update reads a stale figure again from its source, as a new version; Update all does the whole deck. Then re-read the slide's title and takeaways: the words around a figure are yours to keep true. A sourced figure's data can't be typed over — select it and choose Detach first, and it becomes ordinary data that no longer tracks its source.

Faster with an agent — "turn the market model into a five-slide readout: the size, the growth bridge, the regions, the sources." Your agent saves any chart the story still needs, builds the slides in the house style with every figure sourced, checks nothing is stale, and gives you the link and the PowerPoint.
