will be able to drag, drop and add as you

Timeline:
Located on the left is a timeline.
Note: The order of each image represents the
flow of your presentation, top being first and
bottom being the last slide transition
Note: This is in reference to the Auto play
feature: There is not a way to control the
number of seconds per slide before the next
transition occurs. However, adding voice over
to each slide or adding a new transition to the
same location will further increase the
duration spent on that particular slide
Typical slide duration is 4 seconds if watching
presentation in auto play mode.
Edit Timeline: The pencil icon if
clicked allows you to edit the direction your
transitions will flow
Present/Undo/Save:
Located on the top left
