Confirm the missing section in the UI:

This is from Help:
"Open LibreOffice Impress.

Go to Tools – Options – LibreOffice Impress – General. You should see the screen depicted in the figure below.

In the presentation options, select the Enable remote control checkbox and click OK."

Here is the help page about this with a screenshot that it is not correct at this moment in the UI.

It's in menu "Slide Show" then "Slide Show Settings"

It's been moved into another dialog at the end of 2023 with  7ca9c5bd2e2e3cda5686b7b8f5b657161eb52cdd
Move "Enable Impress Remote" setting to presentation settings
Instead of hiding it in the generic options dialog.
This moves the last presentation related option to the presentation settings.


Samuel: I noticed "learnmore" id in sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/presentationdialog.ui but it doesn't seem to be used. Should we drop this or is it something to use?

Correct!
Then, this bug is about documenting this in online help and Impress Guide.

Ok let's cc Olivier then.
Comment 6 Ticrob 2024-09-24 21:25:27 UTC
Thank you but don't forget to update the documenting inside the Impress Remote software (Android / v.2.6.1) too cause it is still the former documentation ;)

I tried to make changes to the help page, but there all is ok
----
source/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.xhp
----
 <paragraph id="par_id170820171213414955" role="ol_item" xml-lang="en-US">>Open the <link href="text/simpress/01/06080000.xhp"><menuitem>Slideshow Settings</menuitem></link> dialog:</paragraph>
-----
But if I try the latest version of Help the change is not there:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX

I don't understand.

Olivier, I wanted to test this and if I go to this page with the latest updates
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX

I can see the same: 
Go to Tools – Options – LibreOffice Impress – General.

But those settings have another place now.
