Design Custom Slides with Slide Canvas

Proclaim equips you to design custom slides in minutes with Slide Canvas.

Note: This replaces Announcements v2 in the Add Item menu.

To get started, click Add Item and select Slide Canvas from the dropdown menu. From here, you can build your slide(s) with the following options.

Template

Proclaim provides premade templates for a huge variety of occasions. Use the search bar at the top to find templates to fit the occasion or add your own from the Add dropdown. Once you've selected a template, select any content to open the Text Properties view where you can edit and customize the text. With a template selected, clicking New slide at the bottom opens a blank slide built off the chosen template.

Text

From the Text tab, you can Add a Headline, Add a Subhead, or Add body text to your slide. Proclaim allows you to add these text blocks to a blank slide or a template. 

Elements

From the Elements tab, you can choose basic shapes or illustrations to add to your slide(s). Drag and drop these elements wherever you like on the slide, and Proclaim provides centering lines to help with placement.

Images

This tab allows you to add images to your slides. Resize an image by dragging the corners, and move it by clicking within the image's borders and dragging it where you wish. You can also use the X and Y positioning if you prefer along with the W and H fields to adjust the image size.

Click and drag the white circle above the image or enter an angle in the position field to adjust the angle at which the image displays. You can also stretch the image along the X or Y axis with the fields immediately below.

Explore the other options to further customize how your selected image is displayed.

Bkground

If you prefer to build your slide(s) from scratch, you can choose a background image to place behind your text. You can then add customizable Text fields to present your content just the way you want.

Layers

From the Layers tab, you can quickly adjust the order in which your layers (whether text or images) appear. Layers are prioritized from the top down, so the first item on the list will be above every other layer in your slide.

QR Codes

Quickly add a QR code and its associated link from the QR Codes tab. As with all of the layers Proclaim provides, you can drag and drop or resize the QR code to fit your slide. You can also adjust the code type, quality, foreground and background color, and position.
