Topic to Subtopic to Topic to Subtopic

[Greg_Sack]

After completing a sub-topic, the system automatically brings me to the next sub-topic. However, I want to zoom back out to the topic and then into the next sub-topic. I can do this manually when presenting, but don’t want my sales people to have to remember to do this. I want the system pre-designed to back out to the topic.

Any suggestions? Please don’t send me a link to any of the current help sections as I am 98% sure I have gone through all of them. They state you can do this, but I can’t get it to work. I can only zoom back out to the current sub-topic I am in once I have started animations.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I think this is what I was looking for as well, here (sorry, link below), if I’m understanding you. Somewhat different use reasons, but basically needing a break between subtopics. And it isn’t an option at this time. My solution was to create an additional page with a reminder where needed (for example, at the start of your 2nd sub-topic, have a “recap” version of the topic)…

Topic to Subtopic to Topic to Subtopic

I would like to be able to go from a Planet-format Topic into, let’s say 3 Subtopics, but then before moving on to Subtopic 4 is it possible to zoom back out to the larger Topic view once more? I’ve tried looking through the Animations options, but I don’t quite see what I’m looking for. Almost like a “Add larger Zoom Out” or “Transition to Topic Name” at the Subtopic level, instead of the Default “Transition to Next Subtopic Name” if possible. I’m currently in a Prezi where I have a Topic with…

Please, by all means, correct me if our questions are not similar enough. And maybe @Vanda or @vera can update us both on the possible status?

[Greg_Sack]

You are 100% correct. Once I finish a sub-topic it automatically flows me
to the next sub-topic and does not allow me to get back to the Topic before
moving on. In the classic version, I could create a frame overlaying the
Topic to achieve my goal.

Is this what you had in mind?

Yes, Vera, that’s what I need. I have several subtopic stacks of images. When I get to the end of the stack I want to go back to the topic because I might want to move to a different subtopic instead of going to the next one in the sequence. Without a Zoom to Topic or Zoom to Overview feature, I have to keep track of how many images are in that stack and which one I’m on so that I don’t accidentally move on to the next subtopic. As a workaround, I’ve placed a simple logo on the last page in each stack. This cues me that I am finished with this subtopic and should return to the topic using the back button.

[vera]

Thanks for sharing the details, @Robin_Pierman, this makes sense, and I love your workaround . I’ve merged your feedback into the topic discussing this feature request for future reference.

[Karen_Hanks]

On work around you could try is taking a screen shot of the overview screen and adding that as a subtopic page in the spot where you would normally want to do the review. I think that’s what I’ll be doing to avoid having to use the back arrow.

I like and hate your work around! I like it because it just may work (I have not tried it yet) and I hate it because this should not really be a work around. My company has decided to stay with Classic now and if Next’s updates do not happen or do not let us function the way we need to, we will be exiting the Prezi family. I am really sad about this, but even though Prezi says they are listening, there is very little evidence for my boss to see. I am trying to keep us here, but we are actively looking and trying other platforms. I hope Prezi update more things very soon! Sorry to be putting this on your post, but you have helped us more than anyone. That is also sad. (Not you, but the fact that you and not Prezi staff have helped us with problems)

[Sven_Rosenthal]

This is just awful - please try to find a way to arrange the order of the animations e.g. zooming in to the 1. point of the main topic, then explaining in a subtopic and then going back to the main topic and zoom in on the 2. point.

[vera]

I merged your reply into the topic discussing your request, @Sven_Rosenthal. We’ll update it with any news. Meanwhile, please check the workarounds suggested earlier in the thread.

[Josephine]

Thanks for the reply! I want to be able to zoom out to “topic” (or a part of “topic”) before moving on to another “subtopic”. This does not seem to be possible. I’d also like to be able to go back to a topic or to a subtopic of a different topic.

[Vanda]

@Josephine I’ve merged your request to the thread discussing this feature request, please check some workarounds above in the meantime.

[Andrew_Chacko_M.D_MS]

Is there a way to zoom out between subtopics? And certainly as we switch from one topic to the next, instead of moving from the last subtopic to the next topic, I’d like to zoom out to recap.
I am sure I can do this in a presentational format - but if I want to create the path idea using animations, how can I do that?

[Vanda]

@Andrew_Chacko_M.D_MS currently it’s not possible, I’m afraid, but please check our workarounds above. We’ll update this topic with any news concerning this feature.

[Courtney_Diaz]

I currently use Prezi in my Kinder classroom so this feature would be AMAZING and make it much more user friendly for our kiddos!

[Rafael_Gonzalez]

OMG pleeeeeeaaaaaase make this feature available soon. Thanks!

[Claus_Hansen]

@Claus_Hansen what you’re trying to do is currently not possible in Prezi Next but there’s a high demand for this feature and our development team is aware. For the time being, please check the workarounds provided earlier in this thread.
