Slides lets you create presentations from your notes. To start a presentation:
**File menu:**
- Right-click the tab of a note and click **Start presentation**.
**Command palette:**
1. Press `Ctrl+P` (or `Cmd+P` on macOS) to open the [[Command palette]].
2. Search for the **Start presentation** command.
3. Press `Enter` with the command selected to start a presentation using the active note.
To navigate between slides, click the left and right arrows in the bottom-right corner, or press the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.
You can also advance to the next slide by pressing Spacebar.
To stop the presentation, press `Escape` or click the cross in the upper-right corner of the presentation.
You can use any valid Markdown file as a presentation. To separate slides, enter `---` at the start of a line surrounded by newlines.
