Add Speaker Notes to Presentations
CompletedIt would be great to have a "Speakers Notes" section within Presentations to allow commentary to be added that the speaker may want to reference during the presentation but that is not included in the slide. Ideally this would look similar to the "Notes" section in Microsoft Powerpoint.
Our team would benefit so that we could include Speakers Notes in the final presentation and we do not need to track these offline or within the comments feature (which causes the speakers notes to get mixed up with review comments).

ICYMI Speaker Notes are now available in Workiva! 🥳🎉🍾🎁 More info is available here.
Thanks so much for your patience and perseverance along the way. We couldn't have done it without your valued input! Give us a holler if you have any questions. Happy Friday in the meantime.
100% agree - seems like an easy value add. 1
Thank you for your idea, Alana!
We appreciate your feedback and have created a ticket for our product team to consider this for future implementation.
You will be updated on the status/progress of your ticket.

Agree this functionality would add value. A workaround we have used is just including a "Notes:" text box outside the boundaries of the presentation.

Hi Joe!
I went ahead and added you to this ticket so that you will be updated on the status/progress of the ticket.

Hi - is there any update to this? We had planned to move to use Workiva for a presentation but the lack of speaker notes is a real disappointment. I hadn't realised before doing a lot of prep work.

Yes, our Executives would greatly appreciate the functionality. We are trying the workaround Chuck recommended but prefer it to be set functionality.

Hi David Mulholland and John Cardoza as of right now it is still on the roadmap. I have added both of you to the ticket tho, and there are quite a few that want this feature and every little bit helps to get the engineers going on this! And I think it is a fantastic idea and would add lots of value! Now that you're on the ticket when there's any updates you will be notified! In the meantime, even though it's not the best option you can do a work around where you can add notes outside of the slide. Thanks, guys! I appreciate you!

May I also be added to the ticket to be notified when this functionality will be available? It's also a Wdesk functionality we look forward to use in my organisation.
Thanks!

Any update on the progress here? It's been a year since this post was created and seems like an easy add.

Thanks for the nudge here, John. I updated the status on this post above as it is now on the roadmap to be done. There's not any set timeline for when, as of yet, but this a great step in the right direction.
We appreciate your feedback and patience here. Let us know if you have any additional follow-ups or need anything else. Cheers!

This would be a much needed and appreciated feature. Can you give any indication on time frame? Is this something that could be available early next year?

Agree, the lack of this feature is currently preventing our organization from using presentations more broadly. Would love for this to be available in the near term.

Bump. This is something that have also had requested from our leadership.

John Cardoza sorry for my delay. I don't have any timelines to share for this feature add. I can say its is not on the list for Q2 but rest assured it remains planned to be done, hopefully in 2025 🤞

Any update on the time line for this Mike Davis?

Hi Daniel Staib - Happy Friday! This feature is still under future consideration, but does not have a date that is planned as of right now. We do encourage anyone passing by that would benefit from this to please comment & get this improvement idea some more traction!

Hi - this would be a great feature to have added!

Happy Friday, Kelly Rogowski I have you added to this request as well. Thank you!

As everyone mentioned, this would be fantastic functionality to be included within presentations! One more reason for people to stay within the Workiva instead of exporting presentations into PowerPoint
