If you are experiencing issues where you no longer see the control window when clicking on present, here are some solutions to make sure that doesn't happen.
Solution 1: Right-Click to Open Presentation in New Window
Locate the "Present" Button: In the Sidekick Beta editor, find the green "Present" button.
Right-Click on "Present": Right-click on the "Present" button.
Select "Open link in new window": From the context menu, choose "Open link in new window." This will open the presentation in a new window.
Go Full-Screen: In the new window, start your presentation and then go full-screen. The control window remains accessible in the original window.
Solution 2: Use Drag-and-Drop to Create a New Window
Click on "Present": Initially, click the "Present" button normally. This opens the presentation in a new tab.
Drag the Presentation Tab Out: Click on the presentation tab and drag it away from the current window.
Create a New Window: As you drag the tab, it will turn into a new window. Release your mouse to open it separately.
Adjust and Go Full-Screen: Position this new window as needed and then start your full-screen presentation. The control window remains accessible in the original browser window.
Tips for a Smooth Presentation:
Practice these steps before an important presentation to familiarize yourself with the process.
Adjust the positioning of your windows to ensure you can easily switch between the presentation and control windows.
