The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need to verify the presentation flows under real conditions. Preview the slide show from start to finish at full-screen, run the timed animations and transitions, and note any slides that pause, skip or mis-order. Check the last five slides twice and confirm slide numbers and the final slide’s black finish.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send the file to the client, make the preview actionable. Run the slide show and identify any breaks in animation order, missing embedded media, or transitions that reset mid-run. Flag any slide that requires a manual click or has unexpected auto-advance so I can decide where to control the pace.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I previewed the deck and a video failed to play during the demo.
I ran the show and an embedded clip didn’t play when expected; the product lead will be furious. I can’t rebuild the clip tonight. What is the most likely immediate workaround to deliver the demo without the embedded media, and what should I change in the file so the same failure won’t surprise me in the client run?

Become — change the pattern
+Every client run turns into a scramble because I discover issues only during preview.
I repeatedly notice missing fonts, embedded videos, and mis-timed builds only when I run the slide show for the first time. My routine is to assemble and send without a full preview. What checklist or preflight habit should I adopt so previews catch these issues earlier and my rehearsals stop turning into firefights?

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.
