Hi there! Thanks for reaching out about the missing "Slide Setting" tab in the Slide Show menu on your iPad Pro M5, which is preventing you from setting up the presenter console. Let's see if we can get this sorted together.
To better help you, could you tell me if this issue appeared after a specific update or if it just stopped showing up recently? Also, have you checked if the app is fully updated to the latest version on your iPad running iOS 18.7?
Generally, the "Slide Show Settings" tab should be accessible under the Slide Show menu in Collabora Office Impress, where you can configure options like the presenter console display mode (fullscreen or windowed). Since you mentioned it was there before and now it's missing, here are some steps to try:
1. Check for App Updates: Go to the App Store and ensure Collabora Office is updated. Sometimes functionality changes with versions.
2. Restart the App: Close Collabora Office completely (swipe it away from your multitasking screen) and reopen it. This can refresh the interface.
3. Restart the iPad: A quick reboot of your device can clear any temporary glitches.
4. Reset App Settings: If possible, check if there’s an option to reset the app preferences within Collabora Office settings, which might bring back missing menu items.
5. Open Different Files: Try opening another presentation to see if the "Slide Setting" tab appears there, in case the issue is file-specific.
If after trying these steps the "Slide Setting" tab is still missing, it could be related to limitations or bugs in the current iOS version or the app’s iPad build. Collabora Office’s presenter console feature sometimes behaves differently or is limited on mobile devices compared to desktop versions.
I also found the official guide which mentions selecting Slide Show → Slide Show Settings to access presenter console options on desktop or supported devices, but it does not specifically confirm this for iPad Pro M519.
Would you like me to check if there have been any recent updates or workarounds specifically for the iPad version? Or if you prefer, I can guide you how to contact Collabora’s support email [email protected] for more tailored help.
I’m running latest version of iPadOS and of Collabora office on iPod pro m5 and the slide settings for presenter console is missing. It was there on Mac version but is not here on iPad version which I run for the first time. Am I looking for it in a wrong place?
Thanks for clarifying that this is your first time running Collabora Office on your iPad Pro M5 with the latest iPadOS, and that the presenter console settings you saw on Mac are missing on the iPad version.
Based on what I found, the presenter console feature—specifically the "Slide Show Settings" tab where you configure presenter console options—is currently available on desktop versions but not yet fully implemented or accessible in the iPad app of Collabora Office. This means on iPadOS, even in the latest version of the app and iPadOS, you won’t see that tab in the Slide Show menu because it's a limitation in the mobile version at this time12.
Unfortunately, the presenter console functionality that you expect to use is designed for larger screen and desktop platforms where multiple display outputs and window management are more flexible. On iPad, the app is built to handle presentations but currently without advanced presenter console setup. This is why you're not seeing that option where you'd normally expect it on Mac.
If you want to use the full presenter console experience on iPad, the workaround would be to use external hardware or apps that mirror or extend your display, or possibly run Collabora Office through a web browser on iPad accessing Collabora Online, which might have extended presenter features. But natively in the iPad app right now, the setting is not available.
If this feature is critical for you, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Collabora's official app updates, as they frequently add features based on user feedback. You can also send a feature request to Collabora Office support at [email protected] so they know this is important for iPad users.
Would you like me to guide you on how to present smoothly on iPad with the current available features? Or help explore alternative presentation setups with your iPad Pro? Let me know!
