The Components tab holds shape groups you have saved and can put back on any slide: a KPI tile, a two-by-two matrix, a footer bar built the way your firm builds them. A component stores the shapes as shapes, so it comes back editable.

​
Two libraries

Components tab showing recent components and both libraries

The Components tab: Recent, then My components and Organization components.

Members who are not admins see “No components yet. Organization admins can publish them.” in the organization library until an admin publishes one. Their own publishes go to My components, and the drawer says “Your component will be private.” See Members and roles.

​
The flow, in three moves

Empty state of the Components tab

Before you have saved anything, the tab explains the three moves.

Select shapes

On your slide

Click Add component

Use the button below

Ask the agent & insert

Use it on any slide

​
Publishing a component

Publish component drawer with name, sharing toggle, group tree and description

The publish drawer. Name and description are drafted for you; the group tree is optional.

1

Select shapes on one slide

Marquee-select or shift-click what you want to save. Until you do, the button reads “Select shapes to add a component” and does nothing.
2

Click Add component

The Publish component drawer opens and works through “Capturing selection…”, “Waiting for preview…”, “Generating name…” and “Generating description…”. It copies the shapes, renders a preview, and drafts the text for you.
3

Check Name, Description and Group

Rewrite the drafted Name and Description if they are vague. The agent finds a component by what these say, so “Three-column KPI tile with icon, figure and caption” beats “Tile 2”. Group puts it in a folder.
4

Choose where it goes

Admins get a toggle: Share with organization (“Everyone in your organization can use this component.”) or Private component (“This component isn’t shared with anyone.”). Members see the private note with no toggle.
5

Save component

It appears in the grid straight away, and under Recent.
Open the drawer from inside My components and it publishes privately. Open it from anywhere else as an admin and it defaults to the organization library. Check the toggle before saving.

​
Groups

Groups are folders inside a library. Add group creates one; New group in Charts nests one inside another; Rename group renames it; Move component to Charts moves a card.
  • Group names cannot contain slashes. You get “Enter a group name without slashes”.
  • A second group with the same name in the same place is rejected: “A group with this name already exists here.”
  • Resize groups changes how many rows a group shows (“3 rows”).
Three views sit alongside your folders:

​
Using a component

Two ways:
  • Insert it yourself. Click the card and it lands on the current slide. If no slide is open you get “Open a slide to insert components.”
  • Ask the agent for it by name. Say “put the quarterly KPI tile on slide 4 and fill it with the numbers from the attached file”. The agent looks the component up by its name and description, inserts it, and adapts the contents.
The second is usually what you want. The component gives the agent the shape, and your message gives it the data.

​
Deleting

Delete a card and Pretty asks “Delete “Agenda block”?” with “This can’t be undone.” You can delete your own components; only an admin can delete organization components.

​
When something goes wrong

Slide pools

For whole slides rather than shape groups. Upload a .pptx and reuse its layouts.

Members and roles

Who can publish to the organization library, and who can only publish privately.
