# Apply a coherent set of slide corrections A deck revision, reviewer comments and approved terminology. Updated October 27, 2026 ## Revising a whole deck, in short Revising slides applies one consistent set of corrections across a whole deck, such as a retired term, outdated examples and source notes that point at a superseded policy, as a single revision. Trainers and compliance owners use it after consolidated review feedback that would otherwise mean dozens of separate edits. Elvina groups the change summary into factual edits and visual preferences so you accept or reject each group, and the previous revision stays in history. Editing slides by hand and drafting from Company Knowledge are available now. ## What happens on the free demo - Book 30 minutes. Pick a time with Elvina's team. The demo is free and runs on Zoom. - Show the team your goal. Bring one role or one procedure. The team shows how Elvina would handle it, using sample materials. - Agree on the next step. You leave with a plan for the first step and its price. Nothing reaches your team until you approve it. ## Who this is for, and when A pharmacy operations trainer received consolidated feedback on a 30-slide controlled substance handling deck: the term 'narcotics cabinet' must become 'controlled substance safe', two examples cite an outdated count procedure, and four source notes point at a superseded policy. She wants one reviewable revision that applies all of it consistently, not thirty separate edits. ## How it works in Elvina Terminology, examples and source notes are updated together in a reviewable deck revision. - The trainer uploads the reviewer comments and the approved terminology list to Creation Studio and selects the current deck revision. - Elvina drafts a single deck revision that updates terminology, replaces the two examples with ones drawn from the current procedure in Company Knowledge, and repoints the source notes. - She reads the change summary, grouped into factual edits and visual preferences, and rejects one layout change she did not ask for. - She approves the revision, which becomes the working copy while the previous revision stays in the history. ## A worked example A fictional chain, Prairie Health Pharmacies, trains 210 technicians on controlled substance handling. The deck is CS-Handling-Rev6. The updated source is Policy-CS-Count-2026-03, owned by the pharmacy compliance director. Reviewers were the compliance director and two lead technicians. - All nineteen occurrences of the retired term were updated, including two inside speaker notes. - The two count examples now follow the blind count step from the current policy. - Four source notes cite Policy-CS-Count-2026-03, and one slide that Elvina had also restyled was reverted to its original layout. ## What to check before relying on it Check the full deck for inconsistent retained wording. Separate factual edits from visual preferences. - No slide, note or subtitle still contains the retired terminology. - Every replaced example matches the current procedure in Company Knowledge. - Source notes cite the intended document and revision on every slide that has one. - Visual changes are limited to what reviewers requested. ## Where a person stays in charge A coherent revision is still a proposal; it can miss a phrasing that reviewers would consider equivalent to the retired term, so the full deck is read once more before approval. Elvina separates factual edits from visual ones to make that read easier, but it cannot judge whether a procedural example is clinically correct. The compliance director signs off. ## Who this is not for, and when another tool fits ### This is not the right fit if - You need one slide rebuilt around its objective rather than a deck-wide set of fixes. - You expect Elvina to judge whether a procedural example is clinically correct. - Reviewers have not agreed on the terminology yet. ### Another kind of tool may fit better - Your current authoring tool, if one designer already builds every course by hand and the team is happy with it. - A shared drive, when people only need to find a file rather than learn a task. ## Questions **Q:** How is this different from regenerating one slide? Revise slides applies a set of related corrections across the whole deck in one revision. Regenerate slide rebuilds a single slide around its learning objective. **Q:** Can I apply only part of the revision? Yes. The change summary lets you accept or reject each group of edits before the revision becomes the working copy. **Q:** Does a deck revision also change speaker notes and subtitles? It should, and you check it. In the worked example the retired term was replaced inside speaker notes too, and the review list asks that no slide, note or subtitle still carries the old wording before the owner approves the revision. ## Two things you can check on this site - See a sample on the demo.
