Use sections in a PowerPoint 2016 for Mac presentation

By using sections, you can organize many slides into manageable groups. If you are working with many slides or collaborating with other people to create a presentation, you can use sections to quickly change the order of slides or group slides by author.

Note: You can add or change the order of sections in Slide Sorter view, or in the navigation pane in Normal view. However, sections do not appear in Outline view.

Add a section

1. In Normal view, in the navigation pane, click the slide that will be the first slide of the section.

2. On the Home tab, under click Section , and then click Add Section.

3. In the Section Name box, enter a name for the section, and then click Rename.

4. To add more sections, select a new starting slide for the new section and repeat steps 2 and 3.

   

   The names you enter appear as headers above each section, followed by the number of slides in each section in parentheses.

Tip: Click the arrows next to the section names to collapse and expand sections.

Change the order of sections

• In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, drag the section title to where you want it—for example, move the third section before the first section.

Change the name of a section

• In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, double-click the section name and enter a new name in the Section Name box.
