# Presentations Overview

## What is a PaintScout Presentation?

A PaintScout presentation is a multi-page proposal that transforms your estimates into professional, branded documents. Presentations work like a mini-website, showcasing your company's best features alongside the estimate itself.

## Why use PaintScout Presentations?

Presentations go beyond a basic scope of work and price. You can include multiple pages with About Us content, services you offer, testimonials, galleries, and more — giving customers a complete picture of your painting company.

## How to Create a PaintScout Presentation

1\. Click the person icon in the top right and go to your **Account Settings** > **Presentations** section. Click **+Add New Presentation** button.

2\. Label your Presentation and select which estimate type it is associated with.

Each Presentation can have multiple **pages**, and within those pages, you can add different **sections**. When you first create a Presentation, it will have two default pages already there for you - the quote itself, and the terms.

3\. Click the **Plus Sign** to add another page to your presentation. Each page will appear as a tab to your customers. Clicking on a tab will display that page's contents.

4\. You will have the option to add an empty page, or the quote page (which just shows the quote itself). Click **Empty Page.**

{% hint style="info" %}
PaintScout offers various section types — some designed for specific content, others flexible for any information. See [Presentation Sections](/support/customization/presentations-and-terms/presentation-sections.md) for a full breakdown of each type with examples.

## Presentation Sections

Once you add a section to your page, you can begin to add relevant content. The left side of the section is what's editable. The right side of the section shows a preview of what the section will look like.

#### 1. Content Tab

This is where you will add your section's content. Add a title to the section, upload photos, and re-arrange its layout. Use the vertical arrows to switch the text and image layout.

Choose the alignment of the text, so it displays at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom.

#### 2. Style Tab

* Adjust the **background color**, and **foreground color** (text color).
* **Background Style:** Full width (full width of the page) or contained (more narrow)

* **Padding** adds extra spacing to your section. If you check the box and remove padding, the text and photo will touch the edge of the page.

#### 3. Advanced Tab

You may want to adjust certain sections of a presentation directly on your estimates. In order to do this, be sure to check this box so that estimators can edit the section directly on the estimate before sending it. This will only affect the presentation of the estimate they are working on.

#### 4. Import/Export

If you need to import a section of your presentation to another presentation, use the import/export function! Click **Copy** to copy the section's content. Then, on the other presentation section, paste the content into the box and click **Import.** The copied content will appear.
