Conditional Branching
Conditional Branching
Conditional branching allows you to control the order of slides in your presentation based on the
responses received from the audience.
For example, at the beginning of your presentation you might ask the participants to vote whether you’ll
cover topic A or topic B. Depending on the results of the vote, the presentation will skip ahead to the
slides for topic A or topic B.
Or, you might ask a question covering a specific subject area to assess whether the participants
understand the subject. If most of the participants respond correctly, you can skip ahead to the next
section of material.
This section describes how to:

Set Up Conditional Branching
You set up conditional branching by defining a condition, which, if satisfied, advances to the slide you
specify. Each condition consists of a comparison. The number or percentage of responses for a particular
answer (or all correct answers) is compared with a specific value, or with the majority of responses for that
slide.
Set up conditional branching using the Conditional Branching window, available from the Tools menu in
the TurningPoint Toolbar.
