Zoho Show 3.0 Update : New Features and enhancements

Zoho Show 3.0 Update : New Features and enhancements

We launched Zoho Show 3.0 to general public 4 months ago and since then we have been fixing bugs and adding new features. 

Here are some of the important features added : 

  1. Export to PDF
    You can now download/export to PDF format. In the earlier version of Zoho Show, the PDF output had slides as images. But in the current release, we have taken great care to export the presentation content to PDF format. The PDF output exactly resembles the presentation output you see in the browsers. So creating brochures is now lot more easier with Zoho Show. 

  2. IPhone App for Zoho Show - ShowMote
    We released an IPhone App for Zoho Show, ShowMote. The app works in tandem with Zoho Show to provide wire-free mobility when you are delivering your presentation. Basically your IPhone acts as a remote to your laptop. The app can be downloaded from ITunes Store : 
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/showmote/id530091329?mt=8

  3. Enhancements in Embedded presentations
    We have made some much needed enhancements to the embedded presentations. 
    1. The embed toolbar now sports a nicer look and feel. 
    2. We have refined and improved the embed options further. You'll now be able to easily get a custom embed code for your presentations. 
    3. You can click on the "More Options" from the Publish dialog to customize your embed code.

  4. Enhancements in Broadcast mode
    Broadcast mode already has lots of handy features like request/revoke control, real-time chat, presenter notes that enables a presenter to give remote presentations easily. We have further enhanced the broadcast mode with a few more features :
    1. Laser Pointer support - Allows the presenter to pinpoint this ideas in the presentation using a laser pointer. The remote audiences instantly see the laser point moving across the slide. It gives a visual appeal to the overall slide/presentation.
    2. To highlight a paragraph or a shape double click on it. The shape/paragraph will animate for the presenter and the remote audiences. It acts as a great visual aid while you're presenting remotely.

  5. Support for viewing presentations in Andriod based phones

  6. We have removed support for IE 6, 7 & 8 completely. 
Today's update takes Zoho Show to the next level. It now sports a consistent look and feel as Zoho Writer and Zoho Sheet. 

Today's update includes : 

Show 2.0 Migration
  1. All your old presentations will now open only in the new editor.  They are automatically migrated to the new Show 3.0 format
  2. The embedded old presentations in web-sites/blogs will also be automatically converted to the new format.
  3. Versions of the Show 2.0 presentations are not migrated to the new format. 

Listing and Managing your files
  1. The listing page is now removed . The default listing page will be Zoho Docs very soon. Currently you'll be presented with the following page as soon as you login to Zoho Show : 



  2. To open your existing presentations , you will have to click on File->Open from the File menu
  3. Share dialog is now simplified and it's now consistent with Writer and Sheet.
  4. We have removed the published presentation listing too. Your published presentation will take you to the slideshow mode directly.
Presentation Editing
  1. Morph your images into beautiful shapes. Crop it, recolor, apply shadow and reflection. Make your images stunning and interesting.
  2. You can now duplicate shapes in a single click. Right click on the selected shape and duplicate
  3. Editor area can now be maximized for larger editing view
Here is a slideshow depicting the features added so far. The toolbar buttons to access the list of presentations have been highlighted as well. View the presentation below in full screen for better clarity.


We hope you will find these new features useful for your regular use. Feel free to post your comments and suggestions so that we can keep improving.

                                                Hello everyone, With the release of the All New Zoho Show, along with the Show apps for Mobile and TV devices, we recognized the need to move the Zoho Presentations sub-forum into a stand-alone community. This new centralized community platform will help to support various questions and information relating to this online presentation software. The new Zoho Shows community is a place for you to discuss and share anything and everything related to Zoho Show Presentations. It includes users from all

And the following week you have to present portions of the whole presentation to different departments, such as sales, HR, and product heads. What do you do now? Copy-paste to create several individual presentations or delete unwanted slides from the original presentation? All of this could be laborious and time-consuming.  Instead, choose to do this.

                                                Numbers and accounting data are often represented in the form of spreadsheets and tables. While this may seem detailed, it does not sit right within a presentation. Directly producing data to an audience is one thing, but how will you highlight an increase in trend or compare two different variables? Analysis is possible only when your numbers are expressed in the form of charts and graphs.   With Zoho Show's latest update, all your charts and graphs are effectively reproduced. They are now shipped

                                                Imagine this. You are in front of an audience presenting an impressive slide deck. Suddenly, a few misspelled words appear on the screen . It's not that you don't know how to spell the word, it's that you were rushing to get your thought out. Either way, presenting those misspelled slides to your audience is a nightmare. Now, Zoho Show gives you the Auto Spell Check option. By default, the Spell Check feature checks the spelling for you; make your ideas flow without worrying about minor errors.
