Publishing Presentations to a Link

Presentations can be made public through the Publish link. By choosing This presentation is public, users can share the presentation with SlideRocket members and non-members. The public link will display the most up-to-date version of the presentation as any saved changes are automatically updated in the SlideRocket Player. Since SlideRocket is a Flash-based application the link will play the same on a PC, Mac or Linux computer and any custom fonts in the presentation will be displayed without the viewer having to install the font. When a public link is opened on an iPad or iPhone, SlideRocket automatically translates the presentation into HTML5. No extra action is needed by the viewer.
