Workspace → Outputs: Files and Slides

Outputs holds deliverables under workspace/outputs/. These are files and file-type groups, not four required Writing / Figures / Tables / Exports folders.

Use the Type filter for Documents, LaTeX, Slides, Tables & Data, Images or Other. The separate Status filter controls which saved outputs are listed. Open a file to inspect it in the appropriate preview or editor.

Tables: the grid editor

.csv / .tsv / .xlsx / .xls open in a grid editor, not as raw text — edit cells directly, like a spreadsheet.

Figures: image preview

Images open in a preview window with zoom and fit-to-width. Position and zoom are remembered, so reopening puts you back where you left off.

Slide decks

Scholardo writes slides in Markdown. A Markdown file is treated as a deck when either:

• its frontmatter contains format: slide, or
• its filename ends in -slide or -slides

Once it qualifies, reading mode renders it as paginated slides and three buttons appear in the toolbar:

Button	Does
Play slideshow	Full-screen playback
Export presentation as PDF	Export to PDF
Choose slide theme	Switch themes

Themes

Several themes ship built in, and Import Theme… takes your own Marp theme (a CSS file). Imported themes appear under "Custom." Show Themes Folder in Finder opens the themes directory directly.

Having the agent build a deck

Scholardo ships the agent a slide-writing spec, so "turn this manuscript into a 12-slide talk" works directly. The spec encodes the structural demands of an academic talk: every slide needs an assertion-style title, evidence behind it, and an outline before the expansion.

The agent can also self-check its output for content overflow with the MCP tool scholardo_slide_check.

Overflow checking

Scholardo measures each child element's actual geometry to detect content spilling past the slide bounds. That's far more accurate than estimating by word count — a wide table or a large equation can blow out a layout without adding many words.

Exports

Exports from all over the app land in the Exports section:

• Slide decks exported to PDF
• Merged manuscript exports
• Highlight exports in Markdown or CSV

Groups

Outputs supports user-created groups too — right-click → New Group…. See Docs → File groups.
