Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable HTML presentation with a 16:9 canvas, previous/next buttons, arrow-key navigation, a slide counter and a one-slide-per-page print layout for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: How-To Training Deck.

Required content and structure

Teach one workflow through prerequisites, sequential actions, examples and a practice task.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Define the workflow, prerequisites, exact interface labels, expected outcome and common recovery steps. Prepare a practice task that learners can complete with available materials.

Layout and behavior

Show one meaningful action per step, with enough context to locate the control. Separate instructor notes from learner instructions and end with a way to check the result.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep interface labels exact and include recovery from common errors.
  • Follow the instructions as a first-time learner.
  • Include the likely error or missing prerequisite instead of showing only the ideal path from start to finish.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Keep one main idea per slide. Use charts only when actual comparable values are supplied; include units, source dates and limitations. Keep speaker notes separate from visible slide content.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for How-To Training Deck. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Teach one workflow through prerequisites, sequential actions, examples and a practice task. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Show one meaningful action per step, with enough context to locate the control. Separate instructor notes from learner instructions and end with a way to check the result.

Visual direction from the example brief

white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams.

Slide structure and presentation behavior

Recreate the slide composition as editable title, body, visual and annotation elements. A pictured slide is one view, not evidence of a complete deck. Use the supplied narrative to build any requested additional slides; preserve its typography, margins, color roles and alignment. Show one meaningful action per step, with enough context to locate the control. Separate instructor notes from learner instructions and end with a way to check the result. Keep navigation outside exported slide content. Keep interface labels exact and include recovery from common errors.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

Adapt the reference to the slide canvas

The attached reference image uses a 3:2 composition. Recompose its editable text, shapes and separate image assets onto the requested 16:9 slide canvas. Preserve hierarchy and readable spacing by adjusting the layout; do not stretch the reference or crop essential content to force it into 16:9. Treat this single concept as a visual direction, not as a completed multi-slide deck.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Teach an Action and Its Recovery

A training deck should help someone complete one workflow, including a likely mistake.

AI-generated visual concept for how-to training deck
How-To Training Deck — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Screens and instructions need exact labels so the learner can find the next control. Show one meaningful action per step, with enough context to locate the control. Separate instructor notes from learner instructions and end with a way to check the result.

From the Prompt

Show one meaningful action per step, with enough context to locate the control.

Make It Your Own

List [PREREQUISITES], then sequential actions using supplied interface labels. Include a worked example, recovery from [COMMON_ERROR] and a practice task with a checkable result.

Prepare the How-To Training Deck Content

The form gives the training a concrete task; provide the actual required inputs and expected result.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this how-to training deck. Define the workflow, prerequisites, exact interface labels, expected outcome and common recovery steps. Prepare a practice task that learners can complete with available materials. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Try the Practice Task

The outline includes recovery and practice as well as instructions; supply a checkable exercise and common failure states.

Prerequisites, steps, examples, errors and practice outline.

A learner should be able to finish using the deck alone. If an instruction depends on an unstated prerequisite or hidden control, add that missing step. Follow the instructions as a first-time learner. Include the likely error or missing prerequisite instead of showing only the ideal path from start to finish.

From the Prompt

Keep interface labels exact and include recovery from common errors.

Make It Your Own

Review the how-to training deck against this requirement: Keep interface labels exact and include recovery from common errors. Follow the instructions as a first-time learner. Include the likely error or missing prerequisite instead of showing only the ideal path from start to finish. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your How-To Training Deck Result

A generated image cannot validate a complete deck or its evidence. Test every slide, keyboard navigation, print layout and any exported file separately.

  • Follow the instructions as a first-time learner. Include the likely error or missing prerequisite instead of showing only the ideal path from start to finish.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current how-to training deck. Follow the instructions as a first-time learner. Include the likely error or missing prerequisite instead of showing only the ideal path from start to finish. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
