Show view: shows slides; lets you navigate the slides and "control the show."
Operator notes: a small line of text to put notes to the show operator.
Layers: different layers that can be "cleared" or populated from slides. One such layer is a "logo" which can be used to put a bug on all outgoing media.
Transport control: controls media playing on a slide.
Show controls: a stack of segments you can prepare in advance to run a show with. Allows setting how long a segment should run, or if it should run to a particular time, to help watch everything is staying on the agenda.
Corner pin: a filter for an output device, used to help correct when a projector is askew.
Audience looks: allows controlling which layers are active for which output display.
Stage layouts: a different screen which is meant to be shown to the presenter on stage. Whoever is talking can see the screen to see notes from production, timer, current and next slide names, for example.
"Themes" can be made that have exemplar objects on them. If a text field called "foo" exists on a slide, then the contents are put in the text field called "foo" on the layout. Thus a single slide can have two separate "looks" on two separate screens and it simply copies the content of the field from the slide to the widgets as they are placed on the layouts.
Guidelines: markers you can place with a ruler to line stuff up. Just like Inkscape.
Standard set of graphic design stuff; align and distribute, sliding, guides, grids, conveniences to put drop shadows and glows on text.
"Lines only": shows the fill of a text field only where there are lines of text. Gives a racing stripe appearance.
Slide notes can be shown on the stage view or just for the operator's benefit.
Reflow view: shows just the master text of slides in a list, for quickly changing the primary text.
Slide viewer
Table: shows all slides as a large grid of thumnbnails
List: thumbnail on left, text on right
Easy: shows just the text similar to the table view but you can change the font and size of it
Preview: shows what is being sent to the presentation outputs. Toggles showing different layers of the output.
