Sometimes the organization wants to add an extra presentation to a session. Possibly because a speaker was not sure if they could attend the conference.

There are multiple ways of adding a file to a presentation. We will go through the two most common methods of doing this.

Sometimes a speaker cannot attend a conference and there is nobody to replace them. The only solution is to cancel the presentation.

We will guide you through the process of cancelling a presentation.

1. We need to find the presentation. The quickest way to do this is by clicking on “Programme” in the menu and then selecting “Presentations”.
2. Find the correct presentation by scrolling down (presentations are sorted by time) or by using the search function.
3. If you have found the correct presentation, press on the gear symbol on the right to edit the presentation.
4. Find the box in the column “Withdrawn” and add a checkmark by clicking on it.
5. Save the presentation by clicking on the diskette symbol on the right.

You have now successfully cancelled a presentation.

If you have accidentally added the wrong file to a presentation, you might want to remove it. We will go through three different ways of removing a file from a presentation.

In some cases, the information on a person is missing or incorrect. We will show you how to edit a person’s information.

1. Look for the search box on the menubar
2. Type part of the name of the person and click when you have found the correct one.
3. On the new page, click on the button “Edit” which is just below the personal information.
4. In the popup, change the relevant information and click on the button “Save” when you are done.

You have now updated a person’s information.

Have you forgotten your Slidecrew account password and now want to recover the lost password? Even the most tech-savvy people forget their passwords now and then. That’s why Slidecrew makes it super easy to recover a lost password securely. In this article, we will show you how to easily recover your lost password.

First, go to the login screen of your Slidecrew portal. The login page of your presentation portal is located at:

https://example.slidecrew.com

Replace, example.slidecrew.com with your website address. Your Slidecrew portal login screen has a “Forgot your password? Set up a new one” link just below the login form.

You will be asked to enter your email address and if your email is in our database we will immediately send you a reset link. If no email is received within 10 min, please contact support, we will help you to get back on your feet.

Sometimes a speaker cannot attend the conference and another person has to give the presentation. This will usually be a co-author on a scientific paper.

We will guide you through the steps you need to take if you want to change the speaker of a presentation.

1. Check if the new person already exists in the system. If they exist, continue to step 4.
2. In the menu, click on “Persons” and then “Add person”.
3. Fill in all the data you have at that moment (at least the last name is required) and press the button “Add person” at the bottom. You will be redirected to the list of all persons.
4. Now it is time to edit the presentation. In the menu click on “Programme” and then on “Presentations”.
5. Find your presentation by either scrolling down (presentations are sorted by time) or by using the search box.
6. If you have found your presentation, click on the gear symbol on the right to edit the presentation.
7. In the speaker column, type a part of the name to find the correct person. Click on the person to select them.
8. You can also remove other speakers by clicking on the x next to their name.
9. Click on the diskette symbol on the right to save your changes. Any changes you make will only be saved after you pressed this button. If you don’t want to save your changes, don’t press on the diskette symbol.

You have now changed the speaker on a presentation.
