<pre>The most simple use case, which I encounter every week, is that there's a
simple mistake to correct (such as a duplicated or missing word, or a typo),
and you can't do it without ending the presentation and starting again.
Another example: while running a presentation, a new point needs to be added on
a new slide or slides. However, you can't do that without ending the
presentation.
Just these two small items would greatly improve usability, and I can speak
from real life experience - the lack of the option to edit live presentations
makes some people choose other software that can.
All that is needed is for presentation editing not to be disabled while a slide
show is running. You can already alt+tab between the presenter console and the
normal window without affecting what is visible on an external
screen/projector.
This should be straightforward to enable according to

If I were familiar with LibreOffice source code and brushed up on my C++
skills, I'd do it.</pre>
