The Q&A feature in AhaSlides gives your audience a channel to submit questions throughout your presentation. Questions appear in a live queue you can answer, pin, or archive — and participants can upvote questions they want answered most.

​
Two Q&A Modes

Add a Q&A slide to your presentation deck from the slide type picker. Q&A submissions are only active when you are on that specific slide. This is best for structured question sessions — for example, a dedicated Q&A block at the end of a talk or after a key section.To add one, click + in the slide panel and select Q&A.

​
Managing Questions

The Q&A queue on your presenter screen lets you sort and manage incoming questions using the following filters:
  • Top — sorts by most upvoted questions first, so the most popular questions rise to the top.
  • Pinned — shows only questions you have pinned, keeping your priority items visible.
  • Newest — sorts by most recently submitted.
  • Oldest — sorts by earliest submitted, useful for working through questions in the order they arrived.
  • Answered — shows questions you have already marked as answered.
To answer a question:
  1. Click the question in the queue.
  2. Click Answer to mark it as answered. The question moves to the Answered tab and out of the active queue.
To pin a question: Click Pin on any question to keep it locked at the top of your presenter view. Pin a question when you want to come back to it or when it’s currently being discussed.

​
Q&A Settings

Automatically block questions containing offensive language before they appear in the live queue. Enable this for any session where the audience is large or not fully known.
Review questions before they appear in the live queue. When moderation is on, submitted questions are held in a pending review list — you approve each one manually before it becomes visible to other participants. Recommended for public webinars and large events.
Allow participants to submit questions without their name being displayed. Participants choose at submission time whether to send anonymously. Anonymous submissions can increase honesty, especially on sensitive topics.
Control whether participants can see other people’s submitted questions and upvote them. Disabling this creates a private queue visible only to the presenter — useful when you don’t want participants to be influenced by what others have asked.
