Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

First I have taken the liberty of copying your post and pasting it below, hopefully it will be easier for others to read:

I'm not sure I understand your question but all the Wizards are available via Edit>Wizards. (You will need to dismiss the initial "Load/New Project" screen, simply click on the X, top right hand corner.)

Hi Jeff
Thanks so much you are there. I would wish to att. the two program pictures I try to describe, but can't.
In mail to Magix Ticket#removed by Moderator I was able to insert pictures!
Try again - Open program, the display box I get has 4 selections, placed vertical left in the box, above is mentioned 'old' . I see no way to select 'Photo story 1-click-slideshow'.
In the -What's new presentation video' a new designed start box with 4 selections, horisontally. Here the first left should acc. to the video give acces to 'Photo story 1-click-slideshow' Which I miss !
Please try https://www.magix.com/index.php?id=21207&L=22&C=56&phash=zLAY801pZeDYphWV
- Introduction video 1. picture the editing display 2. the welcome box - the box I miss to get acces to
'Photo story 1-click-slideshow'.

Why do I not get the same experience after download of new 2021 sw as update to my 'old' version.

Thank you very much, your help is very much appreciated -

. . . . Why do I not get the same experience after download of new 2021 . . . .

I would suspect that video and manual showing the horizontal layout of New project/Open project dialog box were produced months in advance of the release of the product using a pre-release version of Photostory.

What version were you using before? The current dialog box has been in use since Photostory 2018 or possibly 2017.

Added: The process now for using the Slideshow wizard is to start with an empty project add the video and/or images then start the Slideshow wizard - you will be asked if you want to keep the existing slideshow, as shown below

- if you click Do not close the wizard will create an additional Slideshow, as shown below, and make the slide show without affecting the original - this is useful if you want to create more than 1 version of the project.

Hi John
Thanks for your reply. Really strange to release a product intro so far from real world !!!
My first PhotoStory is from 2013, upgrade May 2020 and now Jan.2021. My reason to upgrade was
really what I was presented for in the 2021 version sales video. Primary the feature 'PhotoStory 1-click-slideshow'.
But now the Q is, is 'PhotoStory 1-click-slideshow'. available at all?
It is shown in my welcome box under the tag 'Highlights' What's new in PhotoStory 2021.
If it is available how/where in the program do I find/start this feature.
Regards Ryan

It is - after watching the video several times and testing I finally got it to work, the Magix video does not give enough detail - see the video below.

I have not shown it in the video clip, if you switch to Timeline mode, further editing of the slideshow is possible.
