The assembly needs a smooth unattended loop for the school open house. Set every slide to advance automatically after 12 seconds so the 15-slide deck runs continuously without a click, but stop the loop for the title slide so it waits for a presenter. Check timing on the two videos so they don’t cut off mid-play and confirm the deck restarts at slide one after the last slide.

I keep getting last-minute requests to change slide timings for multiple decks.

We keep scrambling the morning of an event because slide timings are wrong or videos don’t finish before the auto-advance. Over the past five decks this has cost setup time and made the lobby playback look unprofessional. What routine or checklist should I adopt so every deck is ready to loop unattended, and which two habits will save the most time and complaints?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
