Data Transfer Guide

Export from Gamma: For each presentation, go to 'Share' > 'Export' and choose PowerPoint (.pptx) for best editability or PDF for visual fidelity. Save all files to a cloud folder. For documents/webpages, export as PDF. Import to Decktopus: Log into Decktopus, click 'Create New,' select 'Import,' and upload your .pptx files. The AI will convert them into Decktopus format. Note: Complex designs may require manual adjustment. Interactive elements like live data embeds need recreation using Decktopus's media tools. Text and images typically transfer well, but review each slide for alignment issues.
