Account Questions

Is there any reason for me to sign into HaikuDeck.com?

You can use Haiku Deck from SlideShare without ever setting foot on HaikuDeck.com.

You will need to set up a password for HaikuDeck.com, however, if you'd like to edit your decks after you've published them on SlideShare, add notes for your slides, present your decks straight from your iPhone or iPad, etc.

How can I set up a password for HaikuDeck.com?

If you've only used Haiku Deck when you were on SlideShare.net before, you'll need to set a password for your account. Just visit this link, enter the email address you use for SlideShare, then follow the link we email you to set a password. Voilá!

What if I already have a Haiku Deck account?

No worries. Just sign into HaikuDeck.com with your existing account, then click your name (or My Account, if your name isn't showing) in the top right corner of the page, and choose My Account. From this page, you can change your email address to the one you use to sign into SlideShare.net, or add that email address if you've been using Twitter or Facebook to sign in. 

Creating & Editing Decks

You're in the right place! Just check out our User Guide, and pick any category you'd like to learn about. You can also get to our User Guide from HaikuDeck.com any time by clicking the Help button in the top right corner of the page.

What if I want to save my deck and work on it later before I publish it?

No problem! When you start a new deck, it's private in your SlideShare account. As you work on your deck, it's saved as a draft under "My Uploads," where you can work on it at your own pace before publishing it.

What if I need to make changes to my deck after I uploaded it on SlideShare?

Just sign in to HaikuDeck.com, edit your deck, then follow the steps at the bottom of this FAQ (under "Can I export from HaikuDeck.com to SlideShare?").

How does sharing work? 

If you'd like to share it from SlideShare, you will have to publish/upload it first. That will keep it from being private to your SlideShare account, and it will be live for viewing on SlideShare.net. Once your deck has been published, you can share it from SlideShare just like any other presentation in your SlideShare account. You can also share it from Haiku Deck with these steps.

How does privacy work in Haiku Deck for SlideShare?

When you start a new deck, it's private in your SlideShare account. As you work on your deck, it's saved as a draft under "My Uploads," where you can work on it at your own pace.

Once you publish your deck to SlideShare, it is publicly available for anyone on SlideShare.net to view, and will be public on Haiku Deck to possibly be featured in our Gallery.

Can I export from HaikuDeck.com to SlideShare?

Absolutely! To export your deck to your SlideShare account, just pull it up on the web by signing into HaikuDeck.com. If you go into edit mode for your deck, you can click the export button in the top right (box with an arrow pointing right), and export a .PPTX file of your deck. Then, sign into your account on SlideShare.net, click the orange UPLOAD button in the top right corner of the site, and choose your exported deck on the next page.
