The General Properties section allows you to identify each page in your presentation and define how long it will be displayed during playback.

​
Identification

​
Name

  • A unique name that identifies this page within your presentation.
  • To check which names are already used, click the button next to the Name input field — this will show a list of all existing page names (including the name of the current page).
  • Note: Each page name must be unique in the presentation.

​
Behavior

​
Duration

  • Defines how long (in seconds) the page is displayed before moving to the next page.
  • Tip: To view the total duration of your presentation and each page’s duration, click Presentation Properties on the Presentation menu and review the Pages section under the General tab.

​
Remarks

  • If your presentation contains only one page, the Duration setting is ignored during playback.
  • If you are using presentation rules, page rules, or element rules, these may override the specified Duration, dynamically controlling when and how long a page is displayed.
  • If automatic page expiration is enabled under Interactivity properties, this might also overrule the specified page Duration.
