The script allows users to easily arrange and present drawings on an infinite canvas, simplifying the process of delivering slides. The presenter provides a step-by-step guide on installing and using the slideshow feature, ensuring a more engaging presentation experience. # Key Takeaways - Excalidraw is a powerful tool for creating presentations within Obsidian. - The new slideshow script enables users to organize their slides easily using arrows to define the slide order. - Presenters can control the slideshow using both a dedicated panel and keyboard shortcuts, allowing for smooth navigation during presentations. # Content I frequently use Excalidraw to create presentations, and when it comes time to deliver the material, I simply move around the canvas to show my slides. A couple of weeks ago, I had this idea that I could make this much better with the excellent raw script engine, and I am now ready to announce that the slideshow script is available in the script store. There are only five steps you need to follow, and you're ready to go. [* ](https://youtu.be/HhRHFhWkmCk?t=0) First of all, you need to install the script from the store. It's very simple: you scroll down, select the slideshow script, and then you click install. Once the script is installed, you can draw your slideshow on the infinite canvas of Excalidraw. When you're already crafting your material, you simply take the arrow tool and mark the slide order of your presentation. [* ](https://youtu.be/HhRHFhWkmCk?t=30) The way it works is that the point pairs on the arrow will depict the individual slide frames in your presentation. By rearranging these points, you can also change the size and the location of these slides. When you're ready with the arrow, you need to select the arrow and click the slideshow button in the Obsidian panel in the bottom right. You will see a control panel that you can use to move forward and backwards in the slides, and you can also use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate through your presentation. [* ](https://youtu.be/HhRHFhWkmCk?t=54) The slideshow will finish when you get to the last slide or when you press Escape, and that's all. So let me show you an example of how all of this works. Enjoy!
