It allows users to create professional-looking slideshows with ease(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-or-edit-presentations-with-powerpoint-on-the-web-8cf6f92e-d7cb-41ee-8ba9-8b86dbe6febb).

Slide Layout

Slides created using PowerPoint have multiple sections, which each contain predefined boxes known as placeholders. These placeholders determine where text, tables, graphics, or charts appear when inserted into your slides. Users can choose from several types of layout options, including Title and Content, Section, Comparison, Two Content, Three Content, Four Content, Five Content, Six Content, Seven Content, and Nine Content(https://www.techtutorialsx.com/2019/06/slides-created-using-powerpoint-have-multiple-sections-which-each-contain-predefined-boxes.html)(https://tutorvista.com/computing/learn-powerpoint/layout-of-powerpoint.php). To change the appearance of these placeholders, click on the desired placeholder, go to the 'Design' tab, and select the customize option(https://simplemodernlife.com/how-can-i-change-the-appearance-of-my-placeholders-in-powerpoint/)(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation). This allows users to adjust the text font, size, color, alignment, etc., for their slides.

Animations

PowerPoint provides several predefined animation effects that can help bring your content to life. These animations can be applied to text, objects, charts, tables, SmartArt graphics, shapes, and pictures. To add an animation, select the element you want to animate from the slide, click the 'Animations' tab in the ribbon, choose your animation effect, and then select the type of build (e.g., entrance, emphasis, or exit)(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation).

Transitions

Transitions are visual effects applied between slides in PowerPoint. They help engage your audience by making your presentations more dynamic and visually appealing(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation). To add a transition between slides, go to the 'Slide Show' view after opening your presentation. Click the 'From Beginning' button to start showing your first slide. Then, right-click to open a menu and select 'Add Transition'. Choose the desired transition style from the menu, which will apply it to all subsequent slides unless you decide to change them later(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation).

Design Templates

PowerPoint offers various design templates that can be used to create consistent and professional-looking presentations. These templates allow users to customize their designs without needing graphic design skills(https://tutorvista.com/computing/learn-powerpoint/layout-of-powerpoint.php). To use design templates, click the 'Design' tab and then click 'Themes' to see available options for different themes. You can also click 'Colors', 'Fonts', and 'Background Styles' to further customize your presentation(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation).

Speaker Notes

Speaker notes provide a space where presenters can write down additional details, explanations, or even entire sections of content that they want to discuss during their presentation. These notes can only be viewed when in Presenter View, not Slide Show Mode(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-or-edit-presentations-with-powerpoint-on-the-web-8cf6f92e-d7cb-41ee-8ba9-8b86dbe6febb). To add speaker notes, go to the slide where you want to add them, right-click, select 'Insert' and then click 'Speaker Notes'. Type your desired text into the space provided, just like you would add content to a regular slide(https://www.databox.com/blog/how-to-make-an-awesome-powerpoint-presentation).
