Edit Mode / Show Mode
by Adam Somlai-Fischer
In Prezi, there are 2 main modes: Show mode and Edit mode.
Edit mode:
- Designed for creating and changing things within your prezi.
- There is a grid in the background to indicate your workspace.
- 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
- Zoom using the buttons to the right or using your mouse.
Show mode:
- Designed for presenting and for fast navigation to small/large items within a prezi.
- No grid in background and all the menus will auto-hide to provide a "clean" presentation space.
- Click on objects to zoom and click empty space in the background to zoom out.
How to change between Edit and Show modes:
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 your convenience, Prezi stays in Edit mode when you are either the Insert or Colors & Fonts bubbles.)

You can switch to show mode by clicking the Play button on the bottom right of the editor screen.

In Show mode, all menus hide automatically, so you can have a clean presentation screen. To bring them back, just scroll over where they should be (with your mouse).
Use the functions on the bottom right of your screen to exit Show mode, switch between fullscreen view and move back or forward through the path of your prezi.
