Present a report

Display a report in full screen, and cycle through pages automatically.

You can display a report as a presentation, similar to Google Slides. You can show the presentation in full screen or in a normal browser window. You can also choose to automatically display each page of the report for a specified amount of time. For example, you can present a 10-page report and choose to show each page for one minute before automatically advancing to the next page.

Presentation mode and data freshness

When you're showing a presentation, Looker Studio uses the freshness settings for the data sources in the report to make sure that the report is displaying fresh data. This ensures that even people who can't edit the report still see the freshest data available.

Presentation mode and auto refresh

When you’re showing a presentation, Looker Studio checks the freshness settings and refreshes the data for only the upcoming page in the presentation. To refresh the entire report at a set interval, consider using auto refresh.
