Beamer org-mode: pause between blocks, overlays, uncover blocks

I just try to make two blocks in the same frame to be displayed one at a time, same frame, but beamer should generate 2 slides. I cannot figure out how. The documentation at orgmode is not enough for me.

I would be very grateful to understand how to pause a slide at some point, same as with ... in Pandoc if possible. I am not sure if this is possible at all in org mode with beamer.

My example below:

I have something like this and I want each of the cols displayed at one time. My settings are H:3 for the frame level.

*** Continuous integration with Jenkins
  :PROPERTIES:
  :BEAMER_env: theorem
  :END:

    :END:
     [[./jenkins-dashboard.png]]
**** Jenkins
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col: 0.35
    :END:
     #+ATTR_BEAMER: :overlay +-
     - contiuosly building
     - latest failure
     - latest success
     - build durations

The example at "3.4 Using Babel" from http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/tutorial.html adjusted to my needs (changed frame level) seems not to work either.

Stack Overflow is probably not the best place for this self-answered question. If you think it contains enough merit you might want to transfer it to tex.stackexchange.com - Adriaan

Using #+BEAMER: \pause anywhere in a slide will pause the slide. That worked for me.

I had the same question and found a nice solution with :BEAMER_act: <+-> The thing inside < > follows exactly beamer overlay syntax.

This works on Emacs 24.5.1 (Org mode 8.3.4)
