Overview of this book

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

Editing as a group

Once you have added co-editors, you will be able to edit your presentation both separately and as a group at the same time. This is one of the unique and highly beneficial features of collaborating via Prezi. This experience will be further enhanced if you use a peer-to-peer networking tool to voice chat or instant message (such as Skype or Google Hangout).

When you are viewing the Prezi canvas at the same time as others, to the right-hand side of the screen will be a thin dark panel. At the top of this panel, it will list how many people are currently editing the presentation (including you) and underneath, it will list those individuals, alongside their profile pictures. You can hover your mouse over any picture to see the name of that individual, if you are unsure. This is demonstrated in the following screenshot:
