Gixo presentation editor guide

Build complete slide decks from a fast topic start or from outline-first planning with notes and reference material, then edit, present, and export in one workspace.

The editor toolbar

Theme, undo/redo, AI edit, download, and present — all one click away, with the slide rail on the left and sources attached below the canvas.

How It Works

From source input to a reviewed presentation in four steps.

1
Choose a starting path

Start from a topic for the fastest route, or use the outline-first workflow for notes, briefs, articles, and uploaded reference material.

2
Set workflow and theme

Choose the workflow fit first, then pick the visual direction that matches the audience and the deck style you need.

3
Build and edit the deck

Gixo builds the first full deck, then you can edit text inline, change themes, reorder slides, and create AI images inside the same workspace.

4
Present Live or Export

Enter full-screen present mode with keyboard navigation, or export the deck for offline sharing and distribution.

Key Features

Professional presentations without the design overhead.

Theme System

34 professional themes with coordinated color palettes, typography, and layout styles. Switch themes at any time — the engine re-renders every slide instantly without losing content.

Slide Editor

Click any slide to edit its content inline. Modify headings, bullet points, data tables, and speaker notes directly in the editor without leaving the deck view.

AI Images

Generate contextual images with AI and embed them directly into slides. Describe what you need and the image generator creates visuals that match your topic and theme.

Present Mode

Full-screen presentation with smooth slide transitions and keyboard navigation. Use arrow keys, spacebar, or touch gestures to advance. Works in any modern browser.

Overview Grid

See thumbnail previews of every slide in a single view. Quickly scan your deck structure, jump to any slide, and identify sections that need attention before presenting.

Export Options

Export PPTX, PDF, HTML, or slide images. PowerPoint export is hybrid: supported layouts become editable text and shapes; complex slides may preserve fidelity as images. Downloads of your own decks remain unwatermarked and available after trial or plan access ends. Inspect the actual file before handoff.

Review AI edits, source figures, and chart data before handoff

An AI presentation editor should make revision review part of the working deck.

1
Review the proposed revision

Use deck-wide refinement for changes such as tighter copy or clearer headings. Compare the original and proposed fields before accepting the changes you want. AI editing requires the applicable Lumen access. Save the current deck and resolve any revision conflict before requesting another handoff.

2
Check prose and chart values separately

Generated-number checks can correct or remove unsupported figures in slide prose, but they do not certify the source or verify every chart value. Review the original material, chart categories, units, source notes, and data values. Editing chart values changes the evidence relationship; styling a chart does not establish new factual approval.

3
Review a chart data refresh

Paste chart rows or upload a Business calculation metric pack, select the metrics with a compatible unit, and compare current with proposed values before replacing chart data. Imported metrics retain a calculation snapshot with their raw values and input references. The chart plots display values; the snapshot proves replay of the supplied calculation, not that its inputs are true. A manual data edit deactivates the old source binding, so upload and review again to restore it.

4
Repeat a saved reporting deck

For a recurring reporting deck with saved metric sources, the owner can save current edits, supply the next period’s calculation pack, review mapped chart changes, and create a separate period draft. The saved source deck stays available. Text, static charts, and pinned Prism visual snapshots stay as authored, so review those for the new period yourself. This is an explicit review-and-create workflow; it does not schedule or publish reports.

5
Choose the audience format

Present the slide deck, inspect a hybrid PowerPoint export, or convert a Lumen deck into a responsive Stanza visual story for a scrolling reader. Stanza is included under Lumen access. Review the story scenes and the eventual file or share view; a format conversion is a new presentation of the material, not a new fact check.

Set the editing request before asking for alternatives

The field dialog targets the current slide text. Ask Lumen accepts an outcome for the saved deck. These controls are shown before submission, so the images do not demonstrate returned alternatives or an applied edit.

Use the editor as a slide maker: add slides, reorder them, and close with a thank you slide

Generation gets you a draft. The three edits that turn a draft into a presentation you would actually stand up and deliver are almost always the same: add the slide that is missing, move the slides that are in the wrong order, and finish the deck properly.

Add the missing slide

Add or remove slides at any point in the deck, then pick the layout that matches the point you are making — a comparison, a set of stats, a process, a timeline. The layout carries the visual structure, so choosing the right one is most of the slide design work.

Fix the running order

Use the drag handles in the overview grid or the slide rail on the left to reorder. Read the titles top to bottom in the grid: if the sequence does not tell the story on its own, the problem is the order, not the design.

Close with a real closing slide

Add a final slide and edit its text. A thank-you slide that only says "Thank you" wastes the last thing the room looks at — put the ask, the next step, or your contact details on it, and let the closing slide keep working while questions run.

On the thank-you slide
The final slide is usually on screen longer than any other, because it stays up through Q&A. Treat it as a summary slide with a courtesy line rather than a full-screen "Thanks!" — one line of gratitude, the single action you want, and how to reach you.
Editor Tip
Switch themes at any time without losing your content. The theme engine re-renders all slides instantly, so you can try different looks before presenting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many slides can a presentation have?
Quick creation offers 12, 20, 30 or 40 slides; Outline creation also offers 5. Current create flows top out at 40 slides. You can add or remove slides in the editor.
Can I change the theme after my deck is generated?
Yes. Switch themes to change the palette, fonts and layouts, and preview the result before settling on one. Review the rendered slides after switching, including text wrapping and images.
How do I edit individual slides?
Click any slide in the editor to open it for inline editing. You can change headings, body text, bullet points, and data values directly. To reorder slides, use the drag handles in the overview grid or the slide panel on the left.
Does present mode work offline?
The live Lumen workspace needs a connection for its server-backed controls. Download a PPTX or PDF for offline presenting in a suitable local app. HTML exports may reference external assets, so test the downloaded file without a connection before relying on it offline.
How do I add a thank you slide at the end of a presentation?
Add a slide at the end of the deck, choose a title-style layout, and edit the text. The advice worth following is about what goes on it: a thank-you slide is usually on screen longer than any other slide because it stays up through questions, so a full-screen "Thanks!" wastes the last thing the room looks at. One line of gratitude, the single next step you want, and how to reach you does more work.
Can I use the editor as a plain slide maker, without AI generation?
Yes. You can start a blank deck and build it slide by slide — pick layouts, edit text, add images, and switch themes with no AI generation involved. Sign-in and an active Lumen trial or paid plan are required to open the workspace, but a blank deck does not consume a monthly generation.
How do I reorder slides after the deck is generated?
Use the drag handles in the overview grid, or the slide thumbnail rail down the left of the editor. The overview grid is also the fastest structural review you can run: read the slide titles top to bottom and check whether they tell the story on their own. If they do not, reorder before you spend any time on the visuals.
