For the host with a deck to hand out
The deck is often the reason someone registers for the next session as well. Here is how to put it somewhere attendees can find, using a link and the page you already have — no storage, no server, no new tool.
Worth saying plainly: the webinar page does not store your files. There is no upload box for a 40-megabyte deck and no storage quota to run into. What it has is a field for the slides link, which takes the address of something you put somewhere else — your own drive, your own site, wherever you already keep files.
That turns out to be the right division of labour. You keep control of the file itself: replace it, restrict it, or delete it without touching the invitation page. And the page keeps doing what it is good at — holding one address that your registrants already know to come back to.
Two placement choices, each with a different audience.
Sits beside the workbook, the replay and any reading you added. Anyone holding the page address can reach it, which is right for a public talk and wrong for anything sensitive.
Nothing appears on the page; the deck travels to the names you choose — attended, or registered. Slower to prepare, better when the material was made for the room.
A middle option: the link stays on the page, and the page itself needs the password you share with invited people. The address alone then opens nothing.
Most hosts put the deck up afterwards, and miss the more valuable timing. Adding the outline or an empty worksheet to the page in the days before the session changes who turns up prepared: people arrive having read something, questions get sharper, and the hour stops being spent on context nobody needed to hear twice.
You do not have to hand over the finished deck early for that. A one-page agenda with the chapter titles and durations is already pre-work, and it lives naturally in the agenda section the page builds anyway. Then after the session, the full deck replaces it in the materials field, and the address people already saved still points at something.
Slides outlive one session, which is the part most hosts plan for last.
How it works
PDF, on your own drive or site. Choose an address you can replace later without reissuing it to everyone.
The page's link fields take the replay, the slides, the workbook and anything else you supply. One place people already know to look.
If the deck was made for the room, keep it off the visible page and send it to the attended segment instead, or put a password on the page.
In the follow-up: which pages carry the exercise, which numbers are as of the session date. A sentence here saves three questions next month.
Questions
There is no file upload on the page. You keep the deck wherever you store your own files and paste its link into the slides field, which means you can update or withdraw the file without the page changing.
Only if you leave the link on a page whose address is circulating. Keep it out of the visible page and send it to a chosen segment, or protect the page with a password you share with invited guests.
Both, in different forms. An agenda or worksheet beforehand is pre-work that makes the hour better; the full deck belongs after, when the notes people take can attach to it.
A PDF does, and that is the practical reason to export one rather than share a presentation file. Whoever saved your page address can open the deck in their browser without an app.
Yes, and this is the clearest use of the attendee list. Statuses distinguish attended from registered and no-show, so a broadcast carrying the deck can go only to the people who were in the room.
Get Started
Store it where you keep your files, put it on the page or in a message to a segment, and say what it contains. Slides are the cheapest reason someone comes back.
