Content Tab
The Content tab is where you manage all non-question content. Here are the content types you can create:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Polls | Live voting questions with single or multiple choice options |
| Slides | Presentation slides uploaded from PDF, synced to attendee devices |
| Welcome Card | An introductory card for the event — typically the first thing attendees see |
| Speaker Profile | Speaker name, bio, and photo |
| Check-in | An attendance check-in — attendees tap to confirm they’re present |
| Link | A URL to an external resource (article, PDF, video, case study) |
| Forms | Surveys, signup forms, and feedback requests |
Columns
Section titled “Columns”Content items flow through three columns:
| Column | Purpose | Draggable? |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing | Items staged and ready to use | Yes |
| Presenting | Currently live on the Display View. Green background. | Yes |
| Used | Previously shown, now archived | No (read-only) |
Unlike the Q&A Tab, there’s no Incoming or Rejected column — you create content items yourself.
Filtering by type
Section titled “Filtering by type”The Content tab shows all content types mixed together by default. Use the content type filter dropdown in the Action Bar to show only:
- Polls — live voting items
- Slides — presentation slides from uploaded PDFs
- Content — links, resources, announcements
- Forms — signup forms, surveys, feedback requests
Creating content
Section titled “Creating content”The + Create button in the Action Bar lets you quickly create:
| Option | What it creates | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Poll | A new live poll | Creating Content → Polls |
| Form | A survey or signup form | Creating Content → Forms |
Other content types (slides, welcome cards, speaker profiles, check-ins, links) are created from the Content Tab’s content management area.
New items appear in the Preparing column, ready for you to go live when the moment is right.
Managing items
Section titled “Managing items”Drag items between columns to change their status:
- Preparing → Presenting — go live on the Display View
- Presenting → Used — take it off the display
- Used → Preparing — bring it back for another round
Each content card has controls specific to its type:
Poll cards
Section titled “Poll cards”- Shows the question, options, and live vote counts
- Open/Close — stop or resume accepting votes
- Toggle Popup — push a notification to attendees’ screens (auto-expires after 30 seconds)
- Results visibility — shown on the card (Always, After Vote, After Close, Never)
Slide cards
Section titled “Slide cards”- Shows a thumbnail preview and page number
- Original filename displayed for reference
- Slides are created by uploading a PDF — each page becomes a separate card
Content cards
Section titled “Content cards”- Various subtypes: welcome, speaker profiles, check-in items, links
- Displays the content preview
Form cards
Section titled “Form cards”- Shows form title, description, and question count
- Anonymous indicator if anonymous responses are allowed

For full details on card controls (Activity Feed toggle, comments toggle, voting, more menu), see Cards & Actions.
- Pre-load slides and polls before your event starts — create them in Preparing so they’re ready to go
- Use the type filter to focus on just polls when running a polling segment, or just slides during a presentation
- Don’t forget to close polls when you’re done — otherwise votes keep trickling in
- Import Content lets you reuse items across events (great for recurring content like speaker bios)
