What does the file check report mean, and how do I mark a file as checked?

Use the Slidecrew file check report to review what the system found in a presentation, then mark files as checked after a speaker has reviewed and confirmed them.

Short answer: It lists slide count, hidden slides, aspect ratio, fonts, video details, image size and external links. Open it from View info or the Speaker Overview eye icon. Staff mark files checked in Core → Files or enable Set file checked on close for automatic checking when a speaker logs out of their station.

Where can I open the file check report?

Open View info from the file card’s three-dot menu in a user or session sidebar.

How do I mark a file as checked?

Checked status means that a speaker has reviewed and confirmed their file. In the portal, open a file card’s ⋮ menu and select Mark as checked. If it is already checked, the option changes to Mark as unchecked.

You can also enable Set file checked on close in the global Speaker Ready Room settings. When enabled, all of a speaker’s files are marked as checked when they log out of their station.
