Sliiides Troubleshooting and Common Issues
Most issues with Sliiides fall into a few predictable categories — here's how to diagnose and fix them quickly so you stay focused on your raise.
Deck Is Read-Only After Trial
Symptom: You can view your deck but can't edit slides.
Cause: Your 3-day free trial has ended.
Fix: Upgrade to Start Up or Pro at [sliiides.com/#pricing](https://sliiides.com/#pricing). Your deck content is preserved — editing resumes immediately after upgrade.

AI Create Mode Produces Generic or Off-Target Slides
Symptom: The generated deck doesn't reflect your startup's specifics.
- Product Brief was incomplete or vague
- No documents were uploaded before generation
- Research mode wasn't run, so the knowledge base is empty
Fix: 1. Fill in the Product Brief with specific details (real market numbers, actual traction, named competitors) 2. Upload supporting documents before running Create mode 3. Run Research mode first so the knowledge base has cited data to draw from 4. Prompt Create mode to rewrite specific slides with more detail

Research Mode Returns No Useful Results
Symptom: Research mode findings are sparse or irrelevant.
- Try more specific search queries (e.g., "B2B SaaS market size 2024 SMB" instead of "software market")
- Upload your own research documents so the AI has a starting point
- Review and discard low-quality findings before saving to the knowledge base
---
Shared Link Shows Old Version of the Deck
Symptom: A viewer sees slides you've already updated.
Fix: Sliiides share links are always live — viewers see the latest saved version. If a viewer is reporting an old slide, ask them to hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R). If the issue persists, check whether edits were saved before sharing.

Team Member Can't Access the Workspace
Symptom: An invited co-founder or team member can't see the deck.
- Confirm the invite was sent to the correct email address
- Check that the member accepted the invitation
- Verify their assigned role (Member or Viewer) has the expected permissions
- Start Up supports up to 3 members; Pro supports up to 10
---
Analytics Show No Data After Sharing
Symptom: You shared the link but the analytics dashboard shows zero views.
- Confirm you shared the correct public link from the Share panel
- Analytics update after a real external view — opening the deck yourself from the same account may not register
- Allow a few minutes for data to propagate after the first external open

FAQ
- Will I lose my deck if I don't upgrade after the trial?
- No. Your deck content is preserved when the trial ends — it just becomes read-only until you upgrade to Start Up or Pro.
- What do I do if the AI-generated slides are too generic?
- Complete your Product Brief with specific details, upload supporting documents, and run Research mode before generating. You can also prompt Create mode to rewrite individual slides with more specificity.
