Hi,
I’m working on a prezi and i would like to start presenting from a topic that is not the first one in the Overview windows but when i move the topic it moves it in the main page.
I would like to start the presentation with “La rivoluzione culturale in Cina” but i would like to keep it in the middle of the main page. How can i do that?
Thanks
You could, for example, use the custom starting point as explained here.
Alternatively, you can carefully move the topics around this way to achieve a result like this.
Hello,
I would like to change the order of appearance of sections without changing their place on the page. unfortunately when I select a section and I go up or down to change the order, prezi rearranges my page automatically. how to change only the order and not the layout?
thank you
Adrien
Hi! First you’ll need to create the order in the left panel by moving the topic/subtopic thumbnails. Then you can move around your topics or subtopics on the canvas without changing the order they appear in your presentation while holding down CMD (Mac) or CTRL (Windows). This shortcut will turn off automatic reordering.I hope this helps.
Sorry but it doesn’t work. I want to change the order of the “powerpoint”. so i move down or up thumbnails. but when i do that, they also move on my page, they interchanged. when i hold down CTRL it’s exactly the same result. I want to change the order of apparence without changing my page.
Hello! When you move the thumbnails the topics’ position on the canvas will also change, it is not possible to avoid this unfortunately. However once you’ve created the order in the left panel you can rearrange the topics on the canvas with the above mentioned method. That way their order in the path will not change again.
yes, but when you add an information to your topic (for example when you forget something during the construction of your page), it’s complicated to insert this add at the right place of apparence.
is an update possible for this handling? with holding CTRL button for example 
thanks,
I apologize for any inconvenience and will forward your feedback and request to our developers.
I want to change the order of the topics but not move them. When I drag a topic on the left hand side bar it moves the topic on the prezi, all I want to do is keep the layout but re-order the navigation flow (please)
How to add more slides in Prezi Next without losing it’s order? My slides gone haywire, 1 jump to 5 and also others. Though I try to drag from 5 to 1 but still it does not follow the order. What should I do? I refer to your community page saying that press CTRL while drag it but still does not work. Please help
Hi @Athirah_Azhar, I merged your post to the relevant thread. I recommend that you check Sara’s answer above. If this doesn’t help, feel free to send us a URL to the presentation and we’ll investigate the issue

Please check this screenshot as well.
Please I need help in reordering. even when pressing CTRL they are changing the positions.
Please I help to solve this problem urgently.
Hello @zeinab_othman, please make sure you create the order in the left panel first, by drag and dropping the topic/subtopic thumbnails. Then you can move around your topics or subtopics on the canvas without changing the order they appear in your presentation while holding down CMD (Mac) or CTRL (Windows). Alternatively, you can also try using the keyboard arrows.
Thank you soo much.
I have one other question please:
how to change the orientation for an arrow embedded in a template (from left side and pointing right side instead)?
Best regards
Hello @zeinab_othman , please consult this tutorial to learn how you can rotate objects in Prezi. Please note that in case the arrow you’re referring to is part of the template (not an object that can be selected and edited) you will not be able to modify it.
Hi there! I’ve changed order of items in the left panel. That totally changes my prezi lay-out but ok…BUT holding ctrl button while than rearranging items in lay-out changing order in left panel again. Am I missing something here? (Using the App not webpage).
Would me nice to be able to change order without messing up the layout!!
Hello @Sjoerd_Nanninga, you can move around your topics or subtopics on the canvas without changing the order they appear in your presentation while holding down CMD (Mac) or CTRL (Windows) or by selecting a topic circle in the overview and using the keyboard arrows only to reposition it.
Hi there, this really does not work. Any idea when this fixed? Meaning: As a user I can easily reorder items without changing layout.
Plus now I find out that any small change in layout with Mouse (moving slightly around) also randomly reorders the prezi again (Aaargh!!)
Hello @Sjoerd_Nanninga, I apologize for any inconvenience and will forward your feedback to our developers. Regarding the workaround -holding down cmd/Ctrl while moving the topics in the overview- I’ve tested it on our end and it seems to be working fine. Here is a screencast. If you need further assistance please feel free to reach out, we’ll be happy to help.
