 +==== Workflow ====
 +
 +**Define new timing** - Adjusts the duration of each slide as you speak. Whenever you click on the Set Audio marker & Continue button, a new audio marker is added to the recorded audio, the slide'​s continue type is changed to marker, and the slideshow advances to the next slide.

 +**Keep existing timing** - Does not modify the existing timing while you are recording your narration. This is useful for slideshows that have already been carefully timed to music. Please note that you may have to adapt the length of your narration to the existing slide durations to make it fit. The Set Audio marker & Continue button will be disabled in this workflow.
