How to bring in a PowerPoint deck

Drag a .pptx file onto the canvas. Each slide becomes a frame on the page with its text, shapes, pictures and tables, in a group named after the file.

Steps

  1. Drag a .pptx file from your computer onto the canvas, for example a three-slide lecture.

  2. Each slide becomes a frame on the page, labeled Slide 1, Slide 2 and so on, with its text, shapes, pictures and tables. Layers lists them in a group named after the file.

    Three slides from lecture-3.pptx on the canvas: a title slide, a slide with text and a caffeine picture, and a slide with a table.Three slides from lecture-3.pptx on the canvas: a title slide, a slide with text and a caffeine picture, and a slide with a table.

  3. Edit the text and shapes, draw structures on the slides, and present them. See slides.

Anything that cannot be edited, such as a chart, is marked where it was. A picture of a structure stays a picture; draw the structure over it, or right-click it and choose Convert to structure when signed in.
