PowerPoint offers a huge set of formatting, animation, layout, and design features. New users may need time to understand and effectively use these capabilities.

Copilot can help generate presentations and content, but the output may still require substantial human editing for accuracy, storytelling, structure, and visual consistency.

Some advanced functionality may differ between the desktop, web, and mobile versions, which can affect the editing experience across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
