Why can’t I see the expected result after applying a design effect?

  1. Check whether the current parameter settings were confirmed and saved.
  2. Review the result in the editing view first, and then switch to Slide Show mode if needed.
  3. If the result is still not clear enough, adjust the parameters again and preview the slide one more time.

How do I undo a WPSArt Design action on Mac?

  1. Use the standard macOS undo shortcut, Command + Z.
