The Information Bar
Just beneath the toolbar is a small, but important, section called the
Information Bar. Here you can see the name of the show you’re working
on, as well as how many slides are currently in the show, and how many
audio tracks are in the show. You'll also see the length of those elements to
get a quick, at-a-glance summary of exactly what makes up your show.

When you are working with multiple shows in a project, this area will
contain tabs that allow you to switch between shows with ease.
By default, you’ll notice that the title in the Information Bar for a new show
is always "ProShow Slideshow". You can change that quickly by double-
clicking on the title and making changes to your Show Settings.

The Slide List

The Slide List is the bar at the bottom of each Workspace where your slide
thumbnails are displayed. From here you can change the order of slides,
adjust timing or even change your transition effects.

The Slide List is numbered from left to right, just like you would read. When
you create new slides, they appear at number 1, on the far left, and increase
in number as you add more slides. Playing the show starts at the beginning
of the Slide List and plays your slides in order from left to right. Creating a
show is just a process of sequentially creating the slides you want to see in
the Slide List. For now, don’t worry about actually creating slides. We’ll
cover that in another chapter.
