The Slides view holds editable presentations built with the analysis assistant. Start from a folder of charts you have already verified: the assistant proposes a storyline for your approval, then composes the slides. You can change the layout and wording, add saved charts, ask the assistant to revise a selected element, and collect comments before exporting.
If Slides shows No Report Content Available, generate analysis first. You can prepare an analysis plan before responses arrive.
The folder menu starts a deck from the charts in that folder.

Before you start

Generate analysis and identify the audience and purpose of the presentation. In Charts, step through the plan folder and gather the charts that support your story in one of your folders. See Build and organize charts.

Build a deck from a folder

1

Start from the folder

In Charts, open the folder’s ⋮ menu and select Generate slides from this folder. The plan folder offers the same action.
2

Read the request

Slides opens with a new conversation named after the folder. Its first message is visible: it asks for a deck built only from the folder’s charts, with a title slide, sections opened by short dividers, and one slide per key finding whose headline states the finding and whose text interprets the chart in one or two sentences. The request is written in the plan’s output language.
3

Review the proposed storyline

Before composing, the assistant replies with a Proposed storyline card: the question the deck answers, the answer it argues, and a numbered brief for each slide. Check that every brief rests on a chart in the folder and that the order supports the decision.
4

Request changes or approve

Select Request changes and describe what should change, or Approve & compose to have the slides built in storyline order.
5

Verify every slide

Compare each headline and interpretation with its chart, base, and weighting. Edit or ask for a targeted revision where the wording goes beyond the data.

Open or create a deck

Open Analysis, then choose Slides from the view switcher. If the study already has a deck, its thumbnails appear on the left and the selected slide opens on the canvas. Use the chat selector to move between decks built in different conversations; a deck built from a folder carries the folder’s name. On the first visit to the analysis plan, generate one folder per survey section or prepare a custom plan. Review its charts, then generate slides from a folder. You can also ask the assistant in the chat panel to create a deck. Include the audience, purpose, desired length, and any findings that must be covered. For example:
Create an eight-slide debrief for the product team. Lead with the purchase drivers, include the brand-preference chart, and finish with three recommendations.
Slides workspace with thumbnails on the left, a selected slide in the center, and analysis chat on the right

The Slides workspace combines the filmstrip, editable canvas, and the chat used to build the deck.

Add a slide or change its layout

Add a slide from the filmstrip, then choose a layout in Pick a layout. To restructure an existing slide, select the slide and choose Change template. Search the template gallery or browse its layout categories, then select the arrangement that fits the content. Changing the template replaces the slide’s current arrangement, so save the deck before experimenting with a heavily edited slide. You can also duplicate the slide from Slide options (⋯) and try the new layout on the copy.
Pick a layout dialog with searchable slide templates

The layout gallery previews structures for headlines, metrics, quotes, charts, and mixed content.

Add and arrange content

Hover between blocks and select + to open the Insert menu. You can add:
  • Saved charts from the study’s chart library
  • Text, Insight callout, and Quote blocks
  • Metric and Stat list blocks
  • A new Chart or Table block
  • A Card, which groups content in its own bordered layout
Select a block to expose its editing controls. Drag a shared border to redistribute space between neighboring rows or columns. Select the slide title to edit its eyebrow, title, subtitle, badge, and footer. Use the filmstrip to drag slides into a new order. Open Slide options (⋯) to duplicate or delete a slide.

Add a chart

For a chart you have already reviewed, select + → Saved charts and choose Insert beside the chart. The drawer lists ungrouped charts first, then each folder in library order. Saved charts can also be edited or attached to the chat with Add to chat. For a simple chart created directly on the slide, insert a Chart block and configure its title, chart type, question IDs, optional themes, breakdown, and percentage display. Build more involved charts in the Charts view first, then insert the saved result.
Crosstabs and other table-style analyses should be built in Charts and inserted as saved items. Export their full numeric output to Excel when needed. Verify the base and weighting of each slide against the intended source chart.

Ask the assistant to revise one part

Select a slide, row, column, or content block and choose Ask AI. The chat composer shows the selected element under Asking about. Write a specific instruction such as “reduce this to three bullets” or “replace this chart with the purchase-frequency chart.” Selection keeps the request scoped to that element. Use the jump control on its chat chip to return to the corresponding place on the canvas.

Save the deck

After an edit, the toolbar shows Save Changes and Undo changes. Save Changes commits the current deck. Undo changes restores the last saved version and discards every unsaved edit in the current session. Save before commenting or exporting. If the assistant creates a newer deck while you have local edits, choose whether to Keep my edits or Load latest; loading the newer version replaces the unsaved work.

Add and resolve comments

Save the deck, select a slide or block’s comment button, and send the review request. Follow Review slides with comments to check the anchor, process threads, and resolve verified changes.

Export to PowerPoint

Select Download PowerPoint to download the saved deck as an editable PowerPoint file. The PowerPoint file is rebuilt as editable presentation content, so dense text can wrap differently from the browser preview. Open the file and check line breaks, chart placement, and speaker-facing details before presenting it. Crosstabs export as editable tables. For the complete numeric workbook, export Charts to Excel.

If an action is unavailable

Check the result

Save the deck and verify each claim against its source chart and raw base in the folder it was built from. Open the PowerPoint file and check every slide, including table continuations, for wrapping and placement. Ask AI saves pending deck changes before sending the selected slide or element as context. Confirm that saving succeeds; then inspect the assistant’s revision against the selected content and its sources. Requests made from comments also carry their anchors.
