From Community: Request for Card-Level Spotlight Control in Presentations

Mariena Quintanilla
I would like to be able to set spotlight on/off at the card level. I have some cards where I want to gradually release information, but most of the time I want it all at once. Right now it feels like a presentation either requires a million clicks (spotlight on) or I have to accept that info is dumped all at once even when it's not ideal to make it easier to move through as a whole.

My use case is that on some cards I want to introduce a concept at a time and not have viewers distracted reading so want to slowly reveal. Ideally it would be at an item or column level... tbh I'd rather control this in the cards like I do the logos.
perhaps that's implemented as card level presentation / animation settings and spotlight gets removed (and there's a page level presentation setting with option to override per card, similar to logos)
I could see it being implemented in a few ways but at the core the ability to slow reveal at a card level is the ask.

Hey Mariena Quintanilla, this makes a ton of sense. Thanks for spelling out the tradeoff here, I’ll pass the request for card-level spotlight on/off control to the team.
Quick couple questions so we design it the right way:
1) When you say “card level,” do you mean a per-slide default (spotlight off unless enabled), or something you can toggle while presenting?
2) For the cards where you want gradual reveal, is it usually a few specific bullets/blocks, or basically everything on the card in sequence?
