Overview

This article explains the Hide/Show feature in PPT export, which lets users control the visibility of specific elements when exporting a presentation to PowerPoint. With this feature, users can choose to hide or show certain sections, variables, tables, or other content in the export, offering more flexibility and customization in the final presentation. This is particularly useful when certain data or elements need to be excluded or emphasized, depending on the audience or purpose. By enabling the Hide/Show feature, users can tailor their PowerPoint exports to better suit their needs, making the final presentation cleaner, more focused, and more relevant to the intended audience.
