# Starting on Free - what you actually get

For a first Free run, choose a seven-slide briefing with one decision and a short source you can verify.

## Worked example

Use these starting values to work through the decision, then substitute your own inputs.

For a first Free run, choose a seven-slide briefing with one decision and a short source you can verify. Allocate one slide to the question, three to evidence, two to options and one to the next step. This fits the ten-slide allowance without forcing you to split a longer document. Test the browser result and downloaded file before using the daily opportunity on another draft. If a colleague must edit individual objects in PowerPoint, evaluate Pro's export instead of assuming all PPTX files are equivalent.

## Choose by the deliverable, then the plan

Write down the maximum length, required output and who will edit the result. These requirements are more useful than a generic feature count. Compare the whole billing commitment, not just the largest price printed on the page.

1. Make a short sample containing the hardest required object before uploading a complete brief.
2. Confirm slide limits, generation allowance and export editability on the current pricing page.
3. Open the downloaded sample in the recipient's software. Upgrade only after identifying the requirement the current plan cannot satisfy.

## Create your next presentation
