Plan the timing and rehearse a presentation

The Flow view shows the whole talk at once: what is on the big screen, what phones show, what you say and how long each slide takes. Rehearse then runs it with a clock and a pretend audience, without going live.

Open Flow

  1. In the top bar, switch from Slides to Flow. Each slide becomes a row with On the screen, On phones and Words and timing.

  2. Type a goal next to the planned total, such as 30 in min goal. A marker on the timeline shows where the goal falls.
  3. Optional: set Starts to your start time. Each slide then shows its clock time, and the header shows when it Ends.
  4. In each row, write what you will say in the notes box. Set the minutes with − and + in half-minute steps, or clear the box to use RiLiFi’s estimate for that slide type.
  5. Press Design on a slide picture to open it in the Slides view.
  • The timeline colours each slide as Talk, Ask, Quiz or Fun. The line above it is an estimate of the room’s attention, not a measurement.
  • Room energy is the share of the session where that estimate stays above half attention.
  • Add here under a row adds a slide in that place. Script shows only what you say, in bigger type, and Copy script copies every slide’s words and timing as plain text.
  • Drag a row by its handle to move the slide. The eye button skips it when you present.

Start from a format

A new deck that still has only its first slide offers Start from a format in Flow: Team meeting, Workshop, Class lesson, Quiz round or Talk with Q&A. Each one is a running order with timing, speaker notes and moments for the room. Fill in the parts in [brackets], then present.

Producer notes

Press Producer to see what a stage producer would point out, sorted as Fix first, Worth a look and Nice to have. Many notes have a fix button. Fixes marked with a sparkle use the Ask AI bar for 1 AI credit each, and Undo reverses them.

  • Long stretches of talk with no question for the room.
  • Slides with a lot of words on screen, and polls with more than 6 answers.
  • Three slides of the same kind in a row, or a quiz with no leaderboard.
  • A plan over or under your goal, slides with no speaker notes, and a talk that ends on a question.
  • Slides that need something before you can present.

AI helpers in Flow

  • The sparkle button in a row offers Write what I say, Make it shorter, Add a poll after it and Add a quiz question after it.
  • Add here › Or describe it writes a new slide from a short line, such as “a quick poll on lunch”. Press Make it.
  • Each one uses 1 AI credit from your monthly credits. See AI credits.

Rehearse

  1. Press Rehearse in the top bar or in Flow. The rehearsal opens full screen.
  2. Pick a Room: Empty, 12 people, 30 people, 120 people or 500 people. A pretend audience joins and answers, so results fill in as they would live.

  3. Move with Next, read your notes under What you say, and see what comes under Next. Press Finish on the last slide, or End at any time.
  4. The summary shows Plan, You and Difference for each slide. Press Use my times as the plan to keep your times, or Rehearse again.

Note:Nothing in a rehearsal goes live, uses a session or saves answers. Only Use my times as the plan changes the deck. When you are ready, see Present and let the room join.

Common questions

Does rehearsing a RiLiFi presentation use a session?
No. A rehearsal never goes live and saves no answers, so it does not count as a session.
Where do my Flow notes go in RiLiFi?
They are the presenter notes of each slide, so you see them in the Notes drawer while presenting and on the phone remote.
Is the RiLiFi room energy figure measured from my audience?
No. It is an estimate from the mix and length of your slides, made before you go live.
