This guide shows you how to customize your Rise Vision presentations by editing, adding, removing, or hiding components. These options let you create personalized, dynamic displays tailored to your needs.
Each presentation is made up of parts called components. Depending on the template you chose when first creating your presentation, there may be any number of base components already present ready to be customized. You can add custom components of your own to make your presentations more unique if the base components are not enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I move or resize components in the editor?
To move a component, simply click and drag it to your desired location on the preview stage. To resize, click on the component to select it, then click and drag any of the circular handles on its borders.
How does the Snap to Grid feature help align components?
The Snap to Grid feature provides a baseline alignment grid to ensure consistent positioning and spacing of your components across presentations. When you drag a component near a grid line, it automatically snaps into place. This makes it simple to align elements without manual pixel-by-pixel adjustments.
What do the Undo and Redo options do?
The Undo and Redo buttons allow you to easily reverse or reapply any changes you make in the editor preview. If you make a mistake while moving, resizing, or editing a component, simply click Undo to revert your last action. If you change your mind, click Redo to apply the change again.
How can I switch my presentation between Portrait and Landscape orientations?
You can seamlessly switch your presentation orientation or change resolutions between portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal) modes using the orientation toggle. Simply click the Portrait/Landscape switch in the editor settings to change the orientation. The editor will automatically adjust the canvas and components to fit the new layout, allowing you to preview your content instantly.
Blank Presentations also accept a custom resolution in addition to the above, in order to handle non-standard aspect ratios.
