Exporting Proposals

Exporting Proposals


Overview

What

Proposal Export Customization to different file types

Who

All users who create and export proposals in ui.marketing, especially those who need to share proposals with advertisers and clients.

Why

This feature directly addresses a top user request for greater control over proposal exports. By enabling customization, we empower users to:

  • Tailor proposals: Hide or remove specific slides before exporting.

  • Maintain brand consistency: Apply custom branding and formatting.

  • Enhance professionalism: Create polished and client-ready presentations.

Example

As a user, I want to export a proposal as a PDF, but I first need to hide a few slides that aren't relevant to the client. With export customization, I can easily select which slides to include or exclude, ensuring the final exported document is perfectly tailored to my needs.


Walkthrough

Partner-Level Export Preferences

This feature allows users to choose their preferred export file type (PDF or PowerPoint), show or hide slides prior to exporting, and set custom branding colors that will apply to all exports.

Admin users can navigate to a partner and set export preferences for both file types and colors

File Types

  • At least one file type is required to be selected

  • By default, all partners will have all file types enabled

  • Only the file types that are selected will be available to export

Custom colors

  • By default, no partner has custom colors. The default colors are black and gray

  • To select custom colors, users can click the box to open the modal.

    • Use the arrows to change between HEX and RGB colors

    • This interface may vary slightly depending on the browser

    • Clicking “reset colors” defaults it back to black/gray


Customizing PDF & PowerPoint Exports

When users export their Proposals (from either the review page or proposals table) they will see their export options

 

  • Only the exports selected in the partner preference will show

  • Click the arrow to change the export type

    • PowerPoint is the default selection. If PowerPoint is not enabled, then it defaults to PDF.

    • If only one option is enabled, then the dropdown does not show

If users click either export as PDF or export as PowerPoint, a modal will show to customize prior to exporting.

In the partner export section, admin users will be able to enable or disable an additional template for a partner.

  • All existing partners and all new partners going forward will have both templates enabled

  • At least one selection is required

  • This template will impact both the PDF and PowerPoint Export

  • All custom color selections will apply to both templates

 

If the partner has both templates enabled, they will show on the PowerPoint/PDF export modal.

 

  • The default selection is Template 1

  • If the partner only has one template enabled, this section does not show

 

 

 

Not Included

  • Users creating a custom slide deck, where it is in their own template

  • Unique formatting to the PDF (it currently looks aligned with the PowerPoint)

  • Choosing custom colors per export: this can only be set on the partner level

  • Setting export preferences on a division (partner only for now)
