675 Frames can be repeated fully or only in terms of selected sub-slides, multiple times at any later point of the presentation.
679 You just need to give the respective frame a label name via the frame option
680 \begin_inset Quotes eld

697 Then you can repeat this frame by means of the
698 \begin_inset Flex Structure

824 \begin_layout Itemize
825 Nested content is marked by a red bar in the margin of the LyX workarea

854 Consecutive frames have to be separated from each other. This is done by means of the

980 \begin_inset Flex Structure
983 \begin_layout Plain Layout
989 is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one). This is useful for slides with much content\SpecialChar breakableslash
993 \begin_layout Enumerate
995 \begin_inset Flex Structure
998 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1004 is to be used if the frame consists of
1005 \begin_inset Quotes eld

1136 Basically, the overlay concept allows to change the slide content dynamically. You can uncover things/text piecewise, fade out content, highlight things, replace text, images etc.

1148 \begin_inset Argument 1
1152 \begin_layout Standard
1158 Overlays are useful to build up slides as you speak
1161 \begin_layout Itemize
1162 They help you to shift your audience's focus on specific things
1165 \begin_layout Itemize

1230 provides many different overlay types. The most important ones are:
1234 \begin_layout Description
1236 \begin_inset space ~
1240 content: Stuff that is completely invisible up to a point
1243 \begin_layout Description
1245 \begin_inset space ~
1249 content: Stuff that is faded out (not completely invisible)
1252 \begin_layout Description
1254 \begin_inset space ~
1258 content: Stuff that is somehow emphasized at a certain point

1679 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1683 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1687 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1691 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1694 is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content is just covered (and the space is reserved). If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it would only have taken space on appearance:

3698 \begin_layout Itemize
3699 What does this mean?
3703 \begin_layout Itemize
3704 It means that this frame will only be visible in the presentation, not in the accompanying

3801 \begin_layout Itemize
3802 Modes allow you to add extra text to the handout or hide parts from it
