Fundamentals of Zoho Show UI
The goal of Show's user interface is to make working on presentations convenient and intuitive. With all the editing options readily available, you will not need to dig to find what you want. Get started with the presentation creation process, and our contextual menus will take care of you from there.
The Zoho Show web application consists of the listing page and editor screen.

The UI is divided into three sections: the thumbnail pane, the slide area containing a comprehensive toolbar, and the contextual pane, which makes the product navigation much more intuitive.
The thumbnail pane shows a preview of all the slides in the presentation. Using the Library | Gallery option in the bottom you'll be able to view the slides thumbnails and add slides to your presentation from the organization library or the Show gallery.
