📍 Pin on image is here

You asked for it — it's our #2 most-requested slide type, and it's finally live.

Pin on image lets your audience click directly on an image to mark their response. It sounds simple. What it unlocks isn't.

Every pin is a conversation starter. Here's what that looks like:

• Ice-breakers — Drop a world map and ask "Where are you joining from?" Instant connection, zero awkwardness. Beats a roll call every time.
• Training and assessment — Ask nursing students to pin the injection site on an anatomical diagram. Ask warehouse staff to mark every hazard they see. Pins reveal what words can't: exactly what people know (and what they don't).
• Discussion focus — "Which area should we prioritize?" on a roadmap or process diagram gets your group aligned faster than any open question.
• Certification prep — Hotspot-style questions are increasingly common in professional exams. One trainer from our beta put it well: "It worked great and is an example of how some of the new PMP questions will be on the exam. They are starting to use hotspot questions and your new pin on image allows us to closely replicate that in the classroom."
• UX and design review — "Where would you tap to check out?" on a wireframe reveals UX assumptions before a line of code gets written.
  
• And many more creative use cases, such as the below image sent from our beloved customer Kassy 😍 (Nice work, Kassy.)

📊 New report features: Slides & Participants

Two additions to reporting that trainers and repeat presenters have been asking for.

All participants gives you a full view of everyone who's attended any of your presentations — not just the last one. If you run recurring sessions, you can now see who you've reached over time and follow up with the right people.

Participant profile → all responses lets you view a single participant's responses across multiple presentations. For trainers tracking progress or engagement, this makes it much easier to see the full picture — and decide what to do next.

✉️ Reply-to on invite emails

A small fix with an outsized impact on how teams actually collaborate.

All invite emails — team invites, presentation invites, folder sharing — now route replies directly to the person who sent the invite, not to hi@ahaslides.com.

So when someone receives a team invite from you and hits reply, it goes straight to you. Faster resolution, fewer things falling through the cracks.

🔭 Coming up

• LaTeX support — for maths and science content
• New presenter sound effects — produced by a talented local artist; these feel different 🎵🎵🎵
• Ranking and Idea Board — both designed to get more out of group discussion, not just group input 

More on all of these soon.
