Description skierpage 2021-09-13 07:41:41 UTC
The help for "Showing a Slide Show,
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/lo/text/simpress/guide/show.html?&DbPAR=IMPRESS&System=UNIX doesn't match the latest Impress UI.

1. Under "Open the Slide Transition sidebar deck" the help says
> In the Advance slide area, click Automatically after, and select a time duration
In 7.2.0.4 the area is simply labeled "After", not "Automatically after"

2. Under "To advance to the first slide" the help says 
> 1. Choose Slide Show - Slide Show Settings.
> In the Type area, click Auto and select a pause time between shows."
There's no Type area any more. Based on the dialog and tooltips I think this text should be something like:
"In the Presentation Mode area, click Loop and repeat after, and set the duration of the pause between shows."

I confirm. And there should be a dialog image.

There were also changes in Custom slide show, no more "Use custom slide show" checkbox. Bug 142589.

This could all be a single bug, no need to split.
Comment 3 Rafael Lima 2021-10-14 13:46:18 UTC
FTR there are many inconsistencies in these pages.

For instance, the "Always with current page" option no longer exists in Tools - Options - LibreOffice Impress - General. It is mentioned in [1].
