• Insert: objects, quizzes, interactions
• Tools: Customize the “look-and-feel”
• Publish: preview and publishing options

Narration/Audio Files
Easy-to-use tools and icons to record your audio for the slide
you see. You can start and stop your recording, play it back to
check the sound quality,
and then save and close your audio file.

Annotations (New!)
Choose the Annotations (highlighting) tools you want: Arrows,
checks, Xs, rectangles, or Spotlight, record your annotation,
and then save it to your PPT slide.
