TO KEEP IN MIND
• Therefore, confidential and proprietary information will require a professional membership in order to be shared with its intended audience on SlideShare.
Presentations on the Basic version are completely public
• So presentations may need to be modified if key points originally needed some sort of motion to be understood.
“Motion" or the transitions between
slides do not translate to SlideShare
HOW DOES THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
WORK?
Users do not even need to register for a username if they just want to visit presentations.
However, to upload or to download presentations, one can register by providing a username, email and password.
This is all that is needed for Basic registration!!!
