On the New document screen, choose Bring your notes, then add a file, paste text, add a link or pick a file from Google Drive. Synclo plans the presentation from it and checks its charts and figures against it.
What you can bring
PDF, Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx) files, text files (.txt, .md, .csv, .tsv), a link to a web page or a Google Doc, and files from Google Drive. Up to five files at once, each up to 100 MB.
Older formats (.doc, .ppt), Keynote, Pages, Numbers, spreadsheets and images can’t be read: save them as PDF, Word or PowerPoint first.
Your file stays with you
Files are read in your browser; the file itself isn’t sent to Synclo. Its words become the brief for your presentation, and the images you keep are stored with your documents.
Scanned pages
If some pages are pictures of text, Synclo offers to read their words, for 1 credit a page. Pages it can’t read cost nothing.
Images in your file
Synclo keeps the images it finds. Click one to leave it out, or bring it back from the ones left out. Logo from your file puts your file’s logo on the slides.
Checked figures
Charts and figures that match what you brought wear a small mark, Verified against the source. It means the number was found in your file, not that the number itself is right. Design › Page › Verified marks turns the marks off.
Other ways in
Drop a file on your documents to start one from it. In the editor, Add sections from a file adds slides from a file, and the Revise button takes files too.
