This page / section pertains to **BrightSign Network** (often abbreviated **BSN**), our legacy cloud platform. Our latest cloud platform is **BSN.Cloud**. Development of BSN has largely ceased and the platform will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BSN.Cloud.
:::

BrightAuthor Classic versions 3.4.0.9 and later allow you to download presentations from BSN (those presentations must have been uploaded after this version). After you download a presentation, you can edit it in BrightAuthor Classic and upload it again to BSN.

To download a presentation:

1. In BrightAuthor Classic, sign in to BSN (**Tools > Sign in to BrightSign Network**).
2. Go to **Manage > Presentations**.
3. Right-click the presentation you wish to download and select **Download**.

If a presentation was created in Web UI, you can retrieve and modify it using the **Edit** tab in the Web UI.

The following features are currently not supported:

- You can't use BrightAuthor Classic to download presentations that were created in the Web UI.
- You can't edit BrightAuthor Classic presentations in the Web UI (these presentations are marked with a lock icon).

Avast antivirus may cause problems with BSN presentation downloads. To work around this issue, right-click on the Avast icon in the toolbar and select **Avast shields control > Disable for some time**, then download again.
