You can add a new slide from the "Insert" menu or using the toolbar at the top of the narrative window. Try it now: click to place the cursor at the end of this paragraph, then add a new slide.
What is the narrative window for? Well, it's up to you! Here are some suggestions:
-\bp{}Use it just to help plan a smooth flow for your talk, reading it through to spot awkward transitions, but without referring to the notes during the actual talk.
-\bp{}Write your talk word for word and read it out like a politician. Deliver your talk precisely as you planned it, no matter how nervous you get.

If you have two screens connected to your computer at the moment, you could try a mock presentation now.
Besides this, Colloquium has some features which will help you when you come to give your presentation. In the "Tools" menu, you'll find the presentation clock and the test card.
Use the test card to make sure your computer is talking to the projector correctly. It shows you the resolution of the screen, where it thinks the edges are, and some colours. This helps you spot and fix all-too-common display problems early.
