    Important Note!

    The ability to "Add PDF Slides" and sync them to your recording is only available for Standard assignments and the "Presenter slides" setting must be enabled by the course owner before this feature is available to you.

    If the "Add PDF Slides" button is missing, please reach out to your instructor to have this setting added to your assignment.

    Please Note:

    GoReact only accepts PDF files for slides, so before you can add slides to your recording, you need to save your slides as a PDF file. Here are a few of the most common applications used to create slides, and instructions on how to save them as a PDF:

    Adding a Slide Deck during recording

    1. Click "Start Assignment."
