Managing Multiple Editions

You've created your core deck and generated a couple of editions. Now what? This article covers the practical, day-to-day workflow — creating editions, switching between them, keeping them in sync, sharing the right version with the right person, and using analytics to see what's working.

Creating a New Edition

From your deck editor, click Editions in the toolbar. You'll see your existing editions (if any) and an option to create a new one.

To create an edition:

1. Click Create Edition
2. Describe your audience — who they are, what they care about, what action you want them to take
3. The AI generates the edition in seconds
4. Review the result and refine if needed

That's it. Your new edition is ready to share.

Tips for Your First Edition

Start simple. Your first audience brief doesn't need to be perfect. Try something like:

"This edition is for angel investors who invest in people and vision. Lead with the founder story and early traction."

See what the AI produces, then refine the brief if needed. You can always edit it later.

Start with 2 editions, not 5. It's tempting to create an edition for every possible audience. Resist that urge. Start with your primary audience and one alternative. Learn how editions work with two before scaling up.

Switching Between Editions

The edition selector in your toolbar lets you switch between editions instantly. Click any edition to see how your deck looks for that audience.

This is one of the most useful features for reviewing your work. You can quickly flip between your VC edition and your angel edition to check that the right content is emphasised in each.

Quick comparison workflow:

1. Open your VC edition — check the traction slide
2. Switch to the angel edition — check the same slide
3. Notice the difference: metrics are presented differently, the language shifts, the emphasis changes
4. If something doesn't feel right, refine the edition brief

Keeping Editions in Sync

Here's the key concept: your core deck is the source of truth. Editions are variations of it.

When You Update the Core Deck

When you update your core deck — new metrics, changed slides, updated content — every edition can reflect those changes. The AI adjusts each edition based on its audience brief and the new content.

Example: You close a big customer and want to update your traction numbers.

1. Update the metrics in your core deck
2. Each edition automatically has access to the new numbers
3. The VC edition will emphasise the new customer as traction proof
4. The angel edition might mention it as momentum
5. The board edition will include it in the quarterly metrics

One update. Every audience gets the right version.

When You Want to Customise One Edition

Sometimes you want one edition to be different in a way that goes beyond what the brief controls. You can edit individual edition slides directly.

Example: Your strategic partner edition needs a custom integration diagram that doesn't apply to other audiences. Add it to that edition specifically — it won't affect the others.

Sharing Editions

Each edition gets its own unique link. This is important: you share the edition link, not the deck link.

One Link Per Audience

When you share your deck with a VC, you send the VC edition link. When you share with an angel investor, you send the angel edition link. Each person sees only the version designed for them.

Why this matters:

• The VC sees data-forward, concise slides
• The angel sees vision-forward, personal slides
• Neither knows the other version exists
• Each version feels like it was built specifically for them

How to Get the Share Link

1. Switch to the edition you want to share
2. Click Share in the toolbar
3. Copy the edition-specific link
4. Send it to your contact

Embedding Editions

If you embed your deck on a website, you can choose which edition to display. A sales rep might embed the "enterprise" edition on their company's website while sharing the "startup" edition via email to smaller prospects.

Analytics Per Edition

This is where editions become genuinely powerful. You can see how each audience engages — and use that data to improve.

What You Can Track

Per-edition views: How many people opened each edition. If your VC edition has 50 views and your angel edition has 5, you know where your outreach is focused.

Time per slide: Which slides hold attention in each edition. If VCs spend 30 seconds on your traction slide but skip your vision slide, that tells you something about what to emphasise.

Drop-off points: Where viewers stop. If 70% of angel investors make it to slide 8 but only 30% reach slide 12, your deck is too long for that audience — or slide 8 is losing them.

Viewer identification: When you share edition-specific links, you can see which specific people viewed. "The partner at [VC firm] opened the deck at 9:14am and spent 3 minutes on it" is actionable intelligence.

Using Analytics to Improve

Compare edition performance:

If your VC edition has a 40% completion rate but your angel edition has 80%, the VC edition might be too long or too detailed. Check where VCs drop off and tighten those slides.

Identify your best slides:

If every audience spends the most time on your traction slide, that's your strongest slide. Consider leading with it — or making it even more impactful with animated counters and comparison badges.

Spot problems early:

If a specific edition has a 0% completion rate past slide 3, something is wrong with that version. Review the brief, check the content emphasis, and regenerate.

Common Questions

How many editions should I have?

Start with 2. Most users find 2-4 editions covers their needs. More than that and you're creating variations you'll never use.

Can I edit an edition's slides directly?

Yes. Switch to the edition and make changes. Those changes only affect that edition.

What happens if I delete the core deck?

All editions are deleted too. The core deck is the foundation.

Can I share the core deck directly?

Yes. The core deck has its own share link. Use it when you don't need audience-specific tailoring.

Can I turn off an edition without deleting it?

You can archive an edition to hide it from the selector without permanently deleting it.
