Adding Slides to a Document

- Drag and drop a slides file from Finder into the text section of a document
- Drag and drop a slides file from Finder into the Slides section (note that you'll have to show the slides section by clicking its disclosure triangle first)
- Drag and drop a slides file from Finder onto the Pear Note icon
- Control-click (or right-click) on a slides files in Finder, and select Open With Pear Note

Changing Slides

Adding slides to your note is convenient for keeping them together with your note, but it also enables Pear Note to keep track of which slide was being viewed during a recording. If you want to take advantage of this feature, just add the slides file before you start a recording, then change slides during the recording while you take your notes. Then, when you play back your note, the slides will change as well. This is also useful when reviewing your notes, as you can jump to a place in your notes and the slides will jump to the appropriate place as well. For more information on playback, see Playback.

To change slides, you can use the Prev/Next buttons, change the slide number manually, or use the ⌥⌘↓ (next slide) or ⌥⌘↑ (previous slide) shortcuts.
