Prezi Learn Center

In prezi there are 2 key modes: Show mode, and Edit mode. And many things work rather differently in each.

Edit mode:

• is designed for creating, manipulating your prezi. There is a grid in the background.
• Prezi starts up in Edit mode
• Prezi doesn't zoom around when you click on objects, so you don't get lost while writing or moving your objects
• use the zoom buttons, or scroll your mouse to zoom

Show mode:

• is designed for presenting and for fast navigation to small / huge things
• there is no grid, you get a clean look, and all the menus will auto-hide
• You can click on objects to zoom to them, and click the background to zoom out 

How to change between them

Default state of Prezi when it starts is edit mode. You can see the menu centered around the 'Zebra' icon and the label 'Write'. (For you convenience, Prezi stays in Edit mode while the menu is centered around Insert and Colors & Fonts.)

You can switch to show mode by clicking the grey 'Show' ball

Prezi is in 'Show' mode now, the menu is centered around 'Show'. To go back, click on the Blue edge of the parent menu at the top left of your screen.

In Show mode, all menus hide automatically, so you can have a clean presentation screen. To bring them back, just approach the corner of your screen with your mouse.
