Navigate with a mouse
by Adam Somlai-Fischer
It is very easy to navigate with your mouse in prezi. For the best experience, we recommend a scroll mouse, or a trackpad where you can scroll.
| Edit Mode
|
This means that the top left 'Bubble' menu is centered around the Zebra icon, with the text 'Write. This is the default state when Prezi starts. |
|
Drag the mouse
|
Pan the canvas. (Drag means press and hold the button, while moving the mouse). If you don't see a Transformation Zebra, you can drag anywhere, even over objects. If you see the Transformation Zebra, you should not drag on the Zebra - since that will move, scale, rotate the selection instead. |
|
Scroll the mouse
|
Zoom around the mouse pointer. This means, that you can point to an object, scroll, and prezi will zoom to that object. Alternating zoom in/out while moving the mouse is a good way to navigate even without panning. |
| Press the (+) (-) Zoom buttons |
The zoom buttons on the right will zoom in/out around the center of the screen. |
| Show Mode
|
This means that the top left 'Bubble' menu is centered around the grey 'Show' circle. Click on 'Show to get there' |
| Click on Objects
|
Zoom in.
Click on Texts, Images, Frames, and Prezi will zoom you to them. You will zoom, pan, rotate, so they look centered and are readable.
|
| Click on the Background
|
Zoom out.
Clicking on the background starts smart zoom out. This means that prezi will look for the next largest enclosing Frame, and zoom, rotate up to it. If there are no more enclosing Frames, it will zoom to the overview.
