  4. Collaborate:
    You can add comments to the entire slide, or to particular slide elements using Comments in the Review panel. This way, you can interact with collaborators in real time within the Show app, without switching to other communication apps.

  5. Version Control and Proofread: 

    Track the version history of your file, and revert to any version instantly using Versions in Review panel. Search for words in the slide, and replace them with a single click. You can also spell check and customize dictionaries using Tools in the Review panel. 


    You can run your presentations using Play in Show for G Drive. Slides run in full screen mode. You can control them using navigation arrows. Zoom in and out of the screen using the zoom slider. Emphasize key points in slides using markers and highlighters.

  7. Play options: 
Customize your own slides from existing presentations using Customize Slideshow in Show. You can use this technique when you want certain slides  hidden. You can also enable the feature when you want certain animation or transition effects hidden.

Likewise, you can also add explanations to individual slides. 

The Slideshow Setup in Show allows you to play slides in loop, disable transition effect, or disable animation effects. You can also enable multiple options at the same time.
