Normal view (slide view)

Normal view (slide view)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Normal View is the default editing mode in Microsoft PowerPoint. It displays the current slide in the center panel, a thumbnail panel on the left for navigating between slides, and a notes panel at the bottom for speaker notes. Normal View is where most presentation editing takes place — adding content, formatting text, inserting images, and adjusting layouts. It provides a clear, work-focused interface for building and refining individual slides.

LIZ AI enhances what you see in Normal View. It keeps slide content synchronized with live data, flags brand deviations in real time, and suggests improvements — so every slide is always presentation-ready.

Internal Summary

An internal summary is a brief recap placed within a presentation — not at the end, but midway through — to reinforce key points before moving to a new section. It helps the audience consolidate what they have heard so far and signals a transition to the next topic. Internal summaries are especially valuable in long or complex presentations, where listeners may lose track of earlier content. They improve information retention and help maintain a clear narrative thread throughout the talk.

Animated GIF

An animated GIF is a looping image format that displays a short sequence of frames in succession, creating the appearance of movement without requiring a video player. In presentations, animated GIFs can add visual interest, demonstrate a process, or inject humor into a slide. Unlike video files, GIFs play automatically and loop continuously without needing to press play. PowerPoint and most modern presentation tools support animated GIFs natively, though file size should be managed to avoid slow loading.

Large Presentation Model (LPM)

A Large Presentation Model (LPM) is a specialised AI system designed for the demands of enterprise presentation communication. Unlike generic language models, an LPM does not simply process text — it connects company knowledge, audience context, live data, and brand guidelines to produce consistent, presentation-ready communication. The system encompasses the entire presentation cycle: from content structure and storyline to visual execution. Rather than acting as a simple generation tool, it takes on the role of a coordinating, agent-based system.
