# Present a PDF

There are two main ways to present a PDF in a room: by **uploading the file directly into the room** or by **sharing your screen**.

## Upload Your PDF to the Room

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Files Tab in the Side Panel" />

  <Step title="Click Upload Files or Drag and Drop it onto the tab">
    Your PDF will upload to the room and appear as a thumbnail.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click and drag the PDF thumbnail onto the Experience area, then click **Let’s Go**." />
</Steps>

<Check>
  **Your PDF is now presented in the room!**

  * You’ll see navigation controls (page switcher) on the PDF.
  * As you move through the pages, everyone in the session will see your presentation in real time.
</Check>

### **Advantages of uploading**

* **Seamless experience for participants:** Everyone sees the same page at the same time, with no lag.
* **Built-in page navigation:** Use the page switcher directly in Coresee without needing extra apps.
* **Cleaner interface:** Keeps the focus on your PDF, without showing your desktop or notifications.
* **Easier media management:** Switch quickly between your PDF and other media in the room.
* **Shared access for the team:** Once uploaded, the PDF stays available in the room. Other co-hosts can access it, download it, or even present it later — no need to re-upload.

## Screen Share Your PDF

If you don’t want to upload your file, you can share it directly from your desktop using screen share.

> Note: The steps below describe how to share using the Chrome browser. The experience may differ slightly if you’re using another browser or the Coresee desktop app.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your PDF on your desktop (e.g., in Preview, Adobe Acrobat, or another PDF viewer)." />

  <Step title="Click the **Screen Share** icon on the bottom bar." />

  <Step title="Select the window showing your PDF." />

  <Step title="Click Share." />
</Steps>

<Check>
  Your participants will now see your PDF as you present from your desktop.
