Using Custom Presentations as
End users can create, edit, duplicate, and delete custom presentations directly from the media library, assembling slides from existing HQ presentations into a version tailored to a specific call or account. A custom presentation inherits its product alignment from the first slide selected, and users can reorder or remove slides at any point before saving.
Note: Users cannot create, edit, duplicate, or delete a custom presentation while in a call or a Save for Later session.
For custom presentations, the lifecycle states include:
-
Draft – Content is not published. Updates are saved in this state
-
Approved – Content is published and available for end users
-
Expired – Content is withdrawn and unavailable for end users. When users delete a custom presentation from the mobile app, it is transitioned to this state. When slides used in custom presentations expire, they are removed from the custom presentation.
-
Superseded – A previously Approved version has been replaced by a newer Approved version and is unavailable for end users
From the media library, users can create presentations and edit, duplicate, or delete existing ones. Users cannot modify presentations created by the home office or by other users.
When a custom presentation is created on a mobile platform, the status is set to Approved. When a user deletes a custom presentation on a mobile platform, all versions are expired (deleted).
Note: Custom presentations cannot be edited on an iPhone, and are view-only in the My Presentations tab.
Creating a Custom Presentation
To create a custom presentation:
- Navigate to the media library.
-
Select the + button.
- Select Manage My Presentations.
- Select the + button.
-
Select the presentation to add slides from. Use the top tabs to switch views. Select a product from the Product filter to view all available presentations for a specific product, or use the search to locate a presentation.
-
Add the appropriate slides from existing presentations, either by selecting the + icon or by dragging and dropping. Selecting the green + button on a slide adds it to the end (last slide) of the presentation.
To add individual slides, select the presentation to view the slides. Select the green + button on the slide to add it to the end of the presentation, or drag it into the slide sorter to place it in the presentation.
- Rearrange the slides by selecting and holding a slide thumbnail, dragging it to the appropriate position, and releasing.
Remove a slide by selecting the red minus button on the slide thumbnail. Tapping and holding down a slide surfaces 2 actions: Hide Slide (grayed out in the presentation), and Preview (opens preview modal).
Slides can only be added to a custom presentation once. After adding a slide, it is disabled (grayed out) in the media library panel.
- Select Save.

Adding Sub-Presentations to Custom Presentations
A sub-presentation is a set of required slides containing content such as safety and study information. These required slides must be displayed before the main content a user intends to present to HCPs. See Using Sub-Presentation Slides for more information.
Note: Enhanced sub-presentations are not supported in the Document Model.
When a slide with a defined sub-presentation is added to a custom presentation, the sub-presentation remains related to the slide, and the slide thumbnail displays the sub-presentation icon.
Considerations
- Users can add slides with built-in navigation behavior to custom presentations, but the navigation behavior itself cannot be modified
- If a slide containing a sub-presentation is added to a custom presentation, the sub-presentation is also added to the custom presentation
- Customers can use sharing rules via Dynamic Access Control to control which presentations end users have access to. Ensure sharing rules do not grant end users access to presentations created by other users.
