All Smarter Organize Functions
Cluster, adjust and hide objects without grouping in PowerPoint.
Tag objects
Tag objects Group and mark objects with an invisible tag. Hide, remove or format tagged objects within seconds with the Smarter Slides Tag Object function.
Two easy examples to explain what can be done with tagged objects:
1) Not every content in a presentation is meant for everyone. Mark sensitive objects or objects which are not finalized with a tag called “Sensitive”. These objects can now easily be hidden, shown or removed with one single click.
2) You have several objects in your presentation which you need to format in the identical way. Tag these objects with the same tag and access all of them within the Format Wizard to change the format (or anything else) for the complete group of objects.
