Enhancing your Presentations with Incremental Reveal Tips & Tricks: Telling stories One of the most important parts of storytelling is sequencing, or building up to make a point. Building out objects in your presentation can make your message more engaging, and can be done in Google presentations using incremental reveal. Incremental reveal Incremental reveal is a little known feature that lets you control the order in which objects appear, rather than everything appearing at the same time. Read on for some tips and tricks about how to use incremental reveal to make a better presentation. The option to add an incremental reveal is in the drop down menu that comes up when you right-click on the object you want to control. To add it to an object, select incremental reveal on the drop down menu. Once it's in place, you’ll see a stopwatch icon appear on the bottom left of the object. Where to find incremental reveal When you add incremental reveal to more than one object on the slide, the stopwatch icon changes to display a number, representing the order in which that object will appear on the slide. To change the order of appearance for objects, right-click on the stopwatch. A drop down will appear with a list of numbers. Select the number for the order you’d like that object to appear. Adding incremental reveal to multiple objects and changing order Say you want to show how three pieces of data support a conclusion, but showing everything at the same time would be overwhelming (and it would definitely kill the suspense!) You can use incremental reveal to build your story: Add incremental reveal to the second and third image and the conclusion. But don’t just take my word for it, see for yourself! Order the objects with the middle object at 1, the right object at 2, and the conclusion at 3. And that’s it, you’re done! Bringing it all together: Sequencing your objects to tell a story The final product Once cuteness begins to develop, it is difficult to stop! Thank you!
