1010 \begin_layout Enumerate
1011 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1014 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1020 is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one).

1025 \begin_layout Enumerate
1026 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1029 \begin_layout Plain Layout

1162 Note, however, that parts behave differently in
1163 \begin_inset Flex Structure

1318 \begin_layout Itemize
1319 Typical content of the appendix is the bibliography

1372 Basically, the overlay concept allows to change the slide content dynamically.
1373 You can uncover things/text piecewise, fade out content, highlight things,
1374 replace text, images etc.

1392 Overlays are useful to build up slides as you speak
1395 \begin_layout Itemize
1396 They help you to shift your audience's focus on specific things

1454 provides many different overlay types.
1455 The most important ones are:
1459 \begin_layout Description

1464 content: Stuff that is completely invisible up to a point
1467 \begin_layout Description
1469 \begin_inset space ~

1475 \begin_layout Description

1875 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1879 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1883 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1887 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1890 is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content
1891 is just covered (and the space is reserved).
1892 If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it
1893 would only have taken space on appearance:
