Hello, AhaSlides users! We’re back with some exciting updates that are bound to enhance your presentation game! We’ve been listening to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to roll out the New Template Library and the "Trash" that make AhaSlides even better. Let’s jump right in!

What’s New?

Finding Your Lost Presentations Just Got Easier Inside The "Trash"

We know how frustrating it can be to accidentally delete a presentation or folder. That’s why we’re excited to unveil the brand-new "Trash" feature! Now, you have the power to recover your precious presentations with ease.

Trash Feature

Here’s How It Works:

  • When you delete a presentation or folder, you’ll receive a friendly reminder that it’s heading straight to the "Trash."
  • Accessing the "Trash" is a breeze; it’s visible globally, so you can retrieve your deleted presentations or folders from any page within the presenter app.

What’s Inside?

  • The "Trash" is a private party—only the presentations and folders YOU deleted are in there! No snooping through anyone else’s stuff! 🚫👀
  • Restore your items one-by-one or select multiple to bring back at once. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy! 🍋

What Happens When You Hit Recover?

  • Once you hit that magic recovery button, your item pops back into its original spot, complete with all its content and results intact! 🎉✨

This feature isn’t just functional; it’s been a hit with our community! We’re seeing tons of users successfully recovering their presentations, and guess what? No one has needed to contact Customer Success for manual recovery since this feature dropped! 🙌


New Home for Templates Library

Say goodbye to the pill under the Search bar! We’ve made it cleaner and more user-friendly. A shiny new left navigation bar menu has arrived, making it easier than ever to find what you need!

  • Every category detail is now presented in one cohesive format—yes, including Community templates! This means a smoother browsing experience and quicker access to your favorite designs.
  • All categories now feature their very own templates in the Discover section. Explore and find inspiration in just a click!
  • The layout is now perfectly optimized for ALL screen sizes. Whether you're on a phone or a desktop, we’ve got you covered!

Get ready to experience our revamped Templates Library, designed with YOU in mind! 🚀

What’s Improved?

We’ve identified and addressed several issues related to latency when changing slides or quiz stages, and we’re excited to share the improvements that have been implemented to enhance your presentation experience!

  • Reduced Latency: We’ve optimized performance to keep latency under 500ms, aiming for around 100ms, so changes appear almost instantly.
  • Consistent Experience: Whether in the Preview screen or during a live presentation, audiences will see the latest slides without needing to refresh.
