After this, you'll be able to create a deck export and share checklist and use it to move a deck from rough material toward a presentable file.

The idea
The right deck file depends on what the recipient needs to do with it: present, review, edit, archive, or forward. This lesson asks you to make a deck export and share checklist, not a prettier version of scattered notes. The output should be specific enough that someone could open the deck file and see what changed.

Here is the before and after: Before, the deck is shared as whatever file happens to be open. After, the export matches the use case and includes source files when handoff matters. For example, if you are preparing a sales presentation, the artifact should name the audience, slide job, proof, speaker note, or export check where that detail matters. A reviewer should be able to tell whether the deck is closer to being presented, sent, or handed off.
Now try it: Choose the file type for live presentation, send-ahead, stakeholder review, and designer handoff. Make one choice before asking Claude to write: which audience, which decision, which proof, which slide job, or which delivery mode matters most right now. That choice keeps the deck from becoming a generic presentation outline.
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Scattered | Named |
| Output | Guessing | a deck export and share checklist |
| Check | Hidden | Visible |
| Next step | Unclear | Ready |
The lesson turns a loose pitch deck idea into an artifact you can inspect.
The lesson is done when the artifact moves the deck toward a real room, reader, or file handoff.

Watch out for
Paste this into Claude
Create an export and sharing plan for my deck. Compare PPTX, PDF, Google Slides link, Canva link, image export, and source package. Return File Type, Use Case, Who Gets It, Permission Setting, Naming Rule, and Final Check. If any input is missing, ask me up to three questions before producing the artifact. Then return five sections: Finished Artifact, Realistic Deck Example, Assumptions To Check, What I Should Use In The Next Lesson, and One Risk If I Present Or Send This Without Fixing It. Keep the answer practical enough that I can paste it into my deck working doc.
What a good response looks like
Finished Artifact: - a deck export and share checklist - Why it matters: it gives the deck a concrete thing to inspect instead of a vague intention. - Use it next: paste this artifact into the next lesson before asking Claude to write, build, import, publish, or review anything. Reality Check: - The artifact names the user, input, decision, owner, or proof it depends on. - The weakest assumption is visible. - The next step can be completed in one sitting.

Paste this into Claude
Without rereading the lesson, explain why a deck export and share checklist matters in three bullets. Then apply it to a second deck example: [describe a different audience, room, or topic]. Return What Changed, What Stayed The Same, What To Check Before Presenting Or Sending, and the exact next action.
What a good response looks like
Transfer Check: - What changed: the second example has a different audience, input, or delivery context. - What stayed the same: a deck export and share checklist still needs a source, a review check, and a next step. - Before trusting it: inspect the delivery check that would catch a wrong assumption. - Next action: run the check once, then carry the revised artifact into the next lesson.

When this breaks
AI can help with this
Paste the exercise prompt into Claude with your real deck context. Ask Claude to interview you one question at a time, produce a deck export and share checklist, challenge the weakest assumption, and rewrite the artifact once so it is ready for the next deck step.

You can now
You can explain a deck export and share checklist in one sentence.
Key takeaways
Deck delivery includes file type, permissions, naming, and a final open test.
