Present client work
from the board it lives on.

Yes. Lay the running order out as frames on one board: the brief in the client's words, the insight, the big idea, three to five executions showing how it scales, and the decision you need. Presentation mode steps through the frames fullscreen, and you can step out to compare two routes side by side. Afterwards the client keeps a view-only link to the same board. The full running order is on our campaign concept presentation page.

Because choosing a direction is a comparison, and slides show one idea per screen. On a board the directions sit side by side, the rationale is pinned beside the work it explains, and the explorations that lost are one zoom away when the client asks. Frames still give you a running order for the meeting. Decks remain the better fit for strictly linear content such as a quarterly report.

Yes. Presentation mode shows the board fullscreen and steps through its frames in order, so you lay out the running order as frames and present from the same board the work lives on. Step out to the full canvas at any point to compare two directions or show an exploration. After the meeting the client gets a view-only link to that board rather than an export.

No. Turn on sharing and send a view-only link: the client opens the board in any browser with nothing to install. View-only visitors see the latest version when they open or reload, so after you revise a direction the link they already have shows the current work. To leave a comment they sign in, and anyone a paid member invites joins free.

Yes, once signed in. Comments sit on the board beside the concept they refer to, and notes on copy go in a Doc's inline comment threads. There is no approval button, approval status or proofing markup, so agree up front what counts as sign-off, such as a written yes from the named decision maker, and record it on the board.

Two or three, and only ones you would stand behind. One reads as a fait accompli and invites the client to invent alternatives in the room. More than three splits attention and produces blended compromises. A common shape is a route that answers the brief directly, one that pushes further, and your recommendation, each shown as a complete idea with its own rationale and references.

Figma is where design gets made, and it is the right tool for presenting real screens and clickable prototypes at full fidelity. Storyflow sits a level above the files: directions with their moodboards, rationale and the brief on one board arranged as a presentation, which many clients find easier to read than a working design file. Plenty of designers pick the direction in Storyflow and review details in Figma.

It builds the structure, not the design. Describe what you are presenting and the AI lays out a frame per direction with space for rationale and references. Because it reads the board, it can draft a rationale summary from your notes or list the objections a client is likely to raise. It also drafts a presentation, one-pager or lookbook PDF. Its edits apply with one-click Undo.

Yes. Export the whole board as an image or PDF for the stakeholder who forwards everything, or the procurement process that needs a file on record. Exporting a selected section is not supported, so give the client-facing presentation its own board. Keep the order straight: the live board is the presentation and carries the comments; the PDF is a snapshot.

Five frames cover most concept presentations: the brief in the client's words, the insight or strategy, each direction with its references and a two-line rationale, how the idea scales across the deliverables, and the decision you need with the next step. Outside the frames, keep the rejected explorations. That layout lets you present in order and still answer the question about what else you tried.

Storyflow is paid-only during early access, with plans from $7.99 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly). A free plan launches before the end of 2026, and anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free. Clients viewing a presentation by link never need an account. If you need a free tool today, Google Slides is free and opens everywhere.
