# Decks

> Build slide presentations from your image collections

# Decks

Decks turn your image collections into slide presentations. Choose a template, arrange your slides, and present directly from Pindeck.

## Create a deck

1. Open a board
2. Click **Create Deck**
3. Select a template that defines slide layout and transitions
4. Your board's images are automatically placed as slides

## Deck structure

| Field            | Type      | Description                           |
| ---------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `boardId`        | ID        | Parent collection                     |
| `title`          | string    | Deck title                            |
| `templateId`     | string    | Slide template identifier             |
| `slides`         | object\[] | Array of `{ imageId, layout, order }` |
| `sourceImageIds` | ID\[]     | Available images for slide assignment |

## Edit slides

* **Reorder** — Drag and drop slides to change the sequence
* **Change layout** — Select a different layout per slide (full image, split, caption overlay)
* **Swap image** — Replace a slide's image with another from the source collection
* **Add/remove** — Insert new slides or delete existing ones

## Templates

Templates define the visual structure of each slide:

| Template   | Description                            |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Full bleed | Image fills the entire slide           |
| Caption    | Image with a title/description overlay |
| Split      | Image on one side, text on the other   |
| Comparison | Two images side by side                |

## Present

Click **Present** to enter fullscreen presentation mode. Navigate with arrow keys or click.

## Generations

When you create a deck, a generation record is saved with the template details. This lets you rebuild or modify the deck later from the same starting point.

| Field          | Type   | Description                  |
| -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------- |
| `type`         | `deck` | Generation type identifier   |
| `templateId`   | string | Template used                |
| `templateName` | string | Human-readable template name |
| `content`      | string | Serialized deck content      |
