Take a tour of your workspace
Workspaces are where you and your team create, collaborate
on, and manage presentations. Your sidebar includes multiple
sections. Let's start at the top.

• Your team: Click on the name of your team in the top left to
access your settings and access other workspaces.

• Recents: View the presentations your team recently edited,


or that you recently opened. Switch the view with the toggle!

• Manage library: Give your team the assets they need to stay
on-brand, from custom fonts, to templates, and media files.

• Links overview: Manage all your shared presentations from


one place.

Organize your work in folders
Create and save presentations into folders, so your team can
easily find the decks they need.

• Team folders: Structure your team's folders around topics,


projects, or teams for other workspace members to find.

• Shared with me: Access private presentations or folders


shared by other members.

• Private folders: Create presentations that only you can see


and edit. Invite members and guests to view or edit
individual presentations.

Start from scratch or expand on an
existing template

You have a few options to create your first template, accessible


from the Recents tab in Pitch:

1. Click on Start new presentation. From there you can Start


from blank to bring up an empty slide, or you can select from
100+ expert-made templates to save time.

2. Start with AI: Click this button for the AI generator, where
you can enter a prompt to create a set of relevant slides.

3. Import presentation and upload a PowerPoint file that


you've exported from your previous tool, to pick up where
you left off.
Jump-start your
template with AI
The AI generator makes it easy to create
the first draft of a presentation, or the
beginnings of your new template.

Click Start with AI and enter a relevant


prompt, choose an initial color palette
and font, then hit Start editing to
customize your draft further.

Once it's ready, you can save it as a


template for others to use.

Let expert-designers do
the hard work for you
Pitch includes over 100 templates made
by designers, including pitch decks, sales
proposals, reports, and creative briefs.

After clicking Start new presentation you


can browse the categories to find a
template that works for you. Choose one
with a good variety of layouts and then
upload your custom fonts and change the
color scheme later.

What makes Pitch templates special?
We've built our templates to be beautifully flexible — they're
meant to be remade, remixed, and restyled. Pitch templates are
made up of two parts:

1. Slide layouts: The layout refers to blocks on a slide — like


text, image, and shape blocks — and how they're positioned.

2. Slide styles: Styles are like design guidelines for your slides.
They set the rules for default fonts and colors.

Whenever you apply a style, you're setting the visual rules for
that slide. By creating your own style, you can easily make our
templates your own.
Create a new slide style
Custom slide styles keep your decks polished and on-brand.

You can set your brand colors and upload custom fonts to make
sure everyone in your workspace can create consistently
beautiful presentations.

We recommend creating two styles to start — a light and a dark


version of your core brand elements — but you can create as
many as you like.

Here's how to get started:

• Create a slide style


• Add your custom fonts
• Publish a style to your workspace
Save your first template
Once you've created a deck with a custom slide style, you can
save it as a template so it's easy for the rest of your team to
work with it.

You can save as many templates as you like, so if you work on


any sort of recurring presentation — like a sales deck or
company update — saving a template will save you time.

Invite workspace members
Pitch is better with others. Invite your team so you can start
creating beautiful presentations together.

Here's how to invite your team:

1. Click on your team name from your dashboard and select


Members.
2. Enter your teammate's email address (note that only owners
and admins can invite new workspace members).
3. Choose their role, like Admin or Creator.
4. Select Invite member.
Invite guests
If you want to collaborate with someone, but don't want them
to have access to your workspace, you can invite them to work
with you on individual presentations. Here's how:

1. Open a presentation and click Share at the top of the editor.


2. Enter their email into the input field.
3. Choose their access level.
a. Can view means they can view slides, but cannot edit the
presentation.
b. Can comment means they can add comments and update
slide statuses and assignments.
c. Can edit means they can edit content, add and respond to
comments, and invite other guests.
4. Click Invite.

Current guests will have a badge next to their email, so you can
easily differentiate them from workspace members.
Improve your workflow
Here are just a few ways you can collaborate in Pitch:

• Set a slide status: Show which slides need work, are in


progress, or are ready to present.

• Assign a slide: Choose who's responsible for a slide and


assign it to them. They'll get a notification letting them know.

• Leave a comment: Add and respond to comments to discuss


feedback.

• Store speaker notes: Add important information that others


can use when delivering a presentation.
Manage notifications
Notifications help you stay on top of what's happening in your
workspace. Pitch delivers notifications in three ways.

1. In-app notifications: The badge on top of the bell icon


appears when someones assigns a slide to you, mentions you
in a comment, or replies to a comment. If you subscribe to a
specific presentation, you'll be notified about all new
comments and slides marked as Done.

2. Email notifications: In addition to receiving an email for the


notifications mentioned above, you'll also get a daily digest
that highlights comments added to presentations in your
workspace.

3. Slack notifications: Set this up with our Pitch app for Slack
integration, to get notified where you work.
