Publish to a Link

Publishing a presentation allows the user to share a presentation via a link. The presentation can be viewed by both SlideRocket members and non-members by clicking on the link. The presentation will display the most up-to-date version because any saved changes are automatically updated to the 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.
