In-App Public Notes
Our Haiku How-To: Notes Overview video on Vimeo.
Round out your deck with supplemental detail and links to more resources in PUBLIC NOTES, which can now be added right from the app.

Adding public notes to your deck
Your public notes are published to the web along with your deck, extending the content value of your work. Public notes are a great way to share additional background and details with your audience and make your content more search-engine friendly.

Private Notes

You can also capture talking points, or even a full script, with PRIVATE NOTES, which you can reference as you give your presentation.

Adding private notes to your deck
When you connect your iPad to a projector and rotate your iPad to portrait orientation (vertically), your private notes will be visible only to you as you advance your slides. It’s like having your own teleprompter! (Get more tips for presenting like a pro in our Present Mode Tutorial.)

Rotate your iPad to view your private notes as you talk
