Adjust the Magnification for Previewing

You can adjust the magnification of the slide while previewing it in Live Preview mode. This feature is helpful if you want to zoom in on an asset or zoom out to view an asset. By increasing the magnification, you can zoom in to 400%. By decreasing the magnification, you can zoom out to 1%.

Note: You can adjust the magnification of a slide at any point (e.g., before previewing the slide, while reviewing the slide in Live Preview mode, etc.). In the following task, the magnification is adjusted once the slide has been paused.
  1. Access the CCS.
  2. Open the slide you want to adjust the magnification for in live preview mode (for instructions, see the View Slides topic).
  3. In the Slide Editor, click the Live Preview tab.
    A blank Live Preview tab displays.
  4. In the Play Controls section of the toolbar, click the Play button.

    The selected slide begins to play in live preview mode.

  5. Click Pause in the Play Controls toolbar.
    The slide pauses.
  6. In the toolbar, adjust the magnification as desired. By default, the slide magnification is set at 100%. You can use any of the following techniques to adjust the slide magnification for previewing.
    • If you know the exact magnification percentage you want to display, highlight the percentage currently displayed in the Magnification text box, type the desired magnification percentage, and click out of the text box. The slide magnification is automatically adjusted.
    • If you do not know the exact magnification percentage you want to display, you must use the magnification scale. Click the Minus button (-) to decrease the magnification or the Plus button (+) to increase the magnification. After clicking either of these buttons, the slide magnification is automatically adjusted and the new magnification percentage is displayed in the text box.
Note: Note: If you use the Plus and Minus buttons to make multiple adjustments, you must move the cursor off of the button between selections. For example, suppose the magnification is currently set at 100% and you want to use the Plus button to increase the magnification to 150%. To do so, you must click the Plus button, move the cursor off of the Plus button, and then click the Plus button again. At this point, the slide magnification will be 150%.
