Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the current slide has no animation applied, you may not see any visible change after clicking the button.
  • Environment note: This action works for the current slide, so open the slide that contains the animated objects first.

  • What you can do next: You can continue adjusting multiple object animations without leaving the editing view.
