Generating a Presentation Draft (End User)

You can generate a presentation draft as a starting point for creating the presentation you deliver to a customer. The draft is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

If you have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your local computer, you can edit this presentation. If you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed, you can view the presentation, and you can add sections and change the order of sections, but you cannot edit slides.
