Apologies if this is a newbie question, but it is something that has always frustrated me…

How can I insert an editable graph into a slide in my Desmos lesson? When I am editing/creating a Desmos lesson, If I start with a blank slide and insert a graph, the display says “Edit Graph”. If I click that, I can insert an equation or move sliders, etc. As soon as I click the Preview button, or if I publish and present, the image of the graph is there but all of the editable tools are not. I want to be able to manipulate the equations I used in the graph **within the slide**.

Thanks in advance!

You can only do it with a full screen graph, but in the menu “Convert to Graphing Calculator”.

That works. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
