=[|A fresh start for Google presentations] = A year and a half ago, we released completely new [|document, spreadsheet and drawing editors]. Google Docs has been picking up speed ever since with more than 60 new features and millions of new users. Today we’re rounding out the suite by previewing a new version of presentations with faster collaboration and more features.

 A collaborative approach Presentations are made to be shared—whether it’s presenting your thesis to your professors or inspiring colleagues at a conference. And the best presentations are made together, collaborating with others to build a compelling story that captivates your audience. Creating presentations together is easy because you can:
 * See exactly what others are working on with colorful presence markers
 * Edit with your team members simultaneously from different locations
 * Use revision history to see who made changes or to revert to earlier versions
 * Say hello, start a conversation or share new ideas using built-in chat

 In the new presentations, we’ve added many of your most requested features, including:
 * More than 50 new features**
 * **Transitions** to move between slides with simple fades or spicier 3D effects
 * **Animations** to add emphasis or to make your slides more playful
 * **New themes** to create beautiful presentations with distinct visual styles
 * **Drawings** to build new designs, layouts, and flowcharts within a presentation
 * **Rich tables** with merged cells and more options for adding style to your data

  We’re gradually rolling out the new presentations. To get an early start, click on the gear icon in your document list, and select **Document settings**. Then, from the [|editing tab], check the box to “Create new presentations using the latest version of the presentation editor.” Learn more about [|getting started] with the new presentation editor over at our Help Center.
 * What’s next**

Many of the new features were built using technologies that are only available in [|modern browsers]. If you’re using an older browser you’ll be able to view, but not edit, the new presentations.

With today’s launch, the Google Docs suite is now built on a single, solid foundation. Now that the groundwork is in place, you can expect more useful and collaborative features, delivered faster than ever before.
