Add content to a presentation slide 93
View screen properties
You can view different properties for a slide, depending on where you select the slide.
1. In the Screen Outline pane, select the presentation thumbnail.
The Property inspector allows you to change the instance name, which is also the name of the
screen as it appears in the Screen Outline pane.
2. Select the actual presentation slide, not the thumbnail.
The Property inspector now displays the same controls you’re probably used to when working
with the Stage and document properties.

the Y text box to place the button.
