Gamma: agree on the story, then decide how to edit each card
Gamma creates visual content such as presentations and documents. People explaining a proposal or reporting on their work can start with notes, generate a draft, and refine it through conversation and direct editing.
Form your own approach first, then explore the reasoning to check trade-offs and validation you may have missed. There is no single right answer.

DESIGN QUESTIONIntermediate
Design a review flow for changes accepted as one batch
You are responsible for an edit-review interface in a presentation editor. This is a teaching design task, not an existing Gamma feature.
- Scenario. A user asks to “shorten page two and brighten the colors.” The system proposes three changes: remove a paragraph, replace the heading and adjust the background. The user likes only the background. The three changes form one “edit batch”: results of a single request that must be accepted or restored together.
- Constraints. You cannot add per-change acceptance or accept automatically. You may change the interface and wording for making a request, comparing results and returning to editing.
- Deliverables. Draw the flow from requesting an edit to deciding on the result, and write three key state messages. Propose two ways to help the user keep only the background, comparing the work involved and the risk of misunderstanding. Design a five-minute observation task and explain which behavior would show that the user understands the batch decision.
Explore the reasoning
- Ask a participant to explain which objects Accept will affect. Locate where they might mistake a selection for approval of one change.
- Consider splitting the request before generation and editing again after reviewing the result. Both approaches must preserve the whole-batch constraint.
- Walk through “I only like the background.” Check whether the user can identify which changes remain and which were restored after returning.
- Record whether the participant explains the scope before deciding and how many attempts it takes to keep the background. Fewer clicks do not automatically mean better understanding.
