Slides let you build a customer-facing deck inside Spekit instead of exporting content into PowerPoint. A deck is a Spek underneath, so Topics, permissions, search, sharing, Deal Rooms, and analytics all work the same way they already do. Slides is in Beta, so you will see a BETA label next to the Doc and Slides toggle.
1. What Slides are
Slides is a second format for a Spek. The content tools are the same. The frame around them changes.
| What you get | Detail |
|---|---|
| A real slide frame | A 16:9 canvas instead of a scrolling page, with a film strip of every slide beside it |
| Reusable approved content | Pull slides from your team library. They stay linked to the source and update with it |
| Present anywhere Spekit lives | Page through the deck in the app, or open full screen. Buyers get the same view in a Deal Room |
| Everything a Spek already has | Topics, permissions, search, external sharing, Deal Room sharing, and analytics apply unchanged |
2. Doc or Slides
You choose with the Doc and Slides toggle at the top of the editor. The choice is one way, so make it first.
| Choose | When |
|---|---|
| Doc | Reference content, process docs, battle cards, anything people read and search |
| Slides | Anything you will present or hand to a buyer as a deck |
ℹ️ Why it is one way: slides are formatted and optimized differently from a document. Converting between the 2 would break that formatting, so once a Spek is saved as Slides it stays Slides.
3. Who can create slides
What you can do depends on your role.
| Role | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Account Admin, Team Admin, Expert | Add slides to team content, create personal templates, and build decks in Deal Rooms |
| Viewer (Rep) | Build decks in Deal Rooms and create personal templates. Cannot add slides to team content |
💡 Pro Tip: if you are a Rep and you build a deck you want to reuse, save it as your own personal template. You keep it for your next deal without needing team content access.
4. Where you can use a deck
A deck works everywhere a Spek works. These are the places people use most.
| Place | What happens |
|---|---|
| Topics | The deck lives in the Topics you assign, and access follows those Topics |
| Deal Rooms | Add a deck to a room and buyers page through it in place or full screen |
| Learning Paths | Add a deck as an item in a Learning Path |
| Search | Decks appear under Speks in search results, with Slide as the content type |
| Content list view | Filter by the Slides content type to find every deck |
| MCP | Create a deck, create a deck template, or fill a deck template from Claude, ChatGPT, or another connected AI tool |
💡 Pro Tip: in the content list, a single saved slide shows as Slide and a multi-slide deck shows as Slides. Presentations you synced in from Google Slides or SharePoint appear under the same filter, so you see native decks and imported files together.
5. What is not in this release
Knowing the limits now saves you from building around something that is not there yet.
| Not available | Detail |
|---|---|
| Export to PowerPoint or Google Slides | Print to PDF works today. A .pptx export is planned |
| Converting Slides back to a Doc | A Spek published as Slides cannot be turned back into a Doc. Pick the format before you start building. |
| Per-slide analytics | You cannot see which individual slides a buyer looked at. Deck-level analytics work as they do for any Spek |
| Free element positioning | Layering, absolute positioning, slide backgrounds, anchored headers and footers with page numbers, and element distribution are planned for later |
6. Use cases
These are the 3 jobs Slides is built for.
| Situation | How Slides helps |
|---|---|
| A rep builds a customer deck | Build it in Spekit against a real slide frame. No export, no restyling, no second tool |
| A rep assembles a deck from approved content | Pull in library slides instead of copying them. The pitch stays consistent with what marketing published |
| A buyer reviews the deck after a call | Share the deck into the Deal Room. The buyer pages through it in place, and engagement tracking applies |
7. Best practices
These 4 habits keep your decks useful and current.
| Best practice | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Decide Doc or Slides before you build | The choice cannot be undone |
| Build from a template when one exists | You inherit the approved structure and styling |
| Reuse library slides instead of copying | A reused slide updates at the source. A copy goes stale |
| Check the deck in Preview before you publish | Formatting that looks fine in the editor can shift in full screen |
