## Step by step

1. Open your presentation and click **Present** in the top bar.
2. Your first slide fills the screen with a **join code** and **QR code**.
3. Ask the audience to open **join.engageslide.com**, enter the code (or scan the QR), and join.
4. Use the arrows (or your keyboard) to move between slides as responses come in live.
5. When you are done, press **Esc** or exit present mode.

Presenter creates the slide → Click Present → Share code / QR → Audience enters code → Respond & submit → Real-time results

## During the session you can

- Reveal or hide results with **Show result** / **Hide result**.
- Lock a slide with **Stop submission** so no more responses come in.
- Clear a slide’s responses to run it again with a fresh crowd.
- Jump to any slide from the slide navigator.

> **Keep the code visible** — Start with an **Instructions** slide so latecomers can always find the join code and QR.
