Layer timing not working when presenting

Hello - I decided to experiment with creating a presentation in Adobe Express instead of Powerpoint. I've got one page where I want several images to appear one after the other, so used the 'layer timing' feature with each image as a different layer. It plays fine in the normal view, but when I go to 'Present', nothing happens - the page is blank, and there doesn't seem to be a play option either as there is for a video. Any click or key press seems to just move it on to the next page. Any thoughts?

Yeah,  I get you. I guess it's kind of getting the balance between releasing things early or fully functional.

Yep sounds the same. I'm guessing/hoping it's the kind of thing that will get ironed out as the 'Presentation' mode is still quite new. One thing I didn't try was a different browser (I'm in Chrome) so that might be worth a go. I just tried it again, and actually some of the layers with text do work (with a mouse click/right arrow) - it's the ones with images that don't.

Yeah, if we are talking about the same thing (mouse clicking to make the next element appear), it's a pretty accepted thing that presentations do so pretty shocking that AExpress doesn't have it yet.

Hi! Nope, downloaded as a pdf and used that instead... it wasn't a 'big deal' presentation just something within our team, but it would have been nice to have it working like an animation in PP. Have you had a similar problem?
