# Using Presentation Mode

As you interact with your view, you might want to share your findings with others using Presentation Mode. When you use this mode, Tableau hides the toolbar and menu and shows only the view, similar to presenting a slide show.

To turn presentation mode on or off, click the Presentation Mode ![Display presentation icon.](/tableau/next/en-us/reader/desktop/en-us/Img/pres_mode.png) button on the toolbar or select Window > Presentation Mode.

**Note:** If you want to hide individual sheets, contact the workbook author.

The following table describes the different controls that are available when you are in presentation mode. These controls are displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen.

<table class="table--plain">
