CHAPTER 2

Updating and Replacing Presentations 

In addition to creating a Macromedia Breeze presentation with the Breeze Publish Wizard, you 
can also update or replace an existing Breeze presentation. 

Updating a presentation

  If you attempt to republish a presentation that has already been 

published to the Breeze server, you are given the option to update the existing presentation. 
Updating an existing presentation is much faster than uploading to a new location (which creates 
a new presentation), because only the changes are uploaded to the server. 

Replacing a presentation

  When you are publishing a new or existing presentation from 

PowerPoint, you can choose to replace an existing presentation instead of creating a new one. This 
differs from updating a presentation in that the presentation you replace does not have to be an 
older version of the presentation you are uploading; it doesn’t even need to have the same name.

Publishing a presentation that already exists

To republish an existing presentation, you access the Breeze Publish Wizard exactly as you do 
when publishing a new presentation: select Breeze > Publish from the menu in PowerPoint. When 
you log in, the Set Presentation Location page indicates that the presentation was published 
previously, and the page includes the path to the previously published presentation. 

On the Set Presentation Location page, you can see the folder, title, speaker, and summary 
information of the existing Breeze presentation, and you have the following options:

Publish Now

“Replacing a Breeze presentation

“Creating a presentation in a 

new location” on page 27
