Ways to view your slides
You can view your slides in different ways to help you organize and edit your presentation:
Navigator view is the default view and has thumbnail images of each slide, which you click to jump to specific slides or drag to reorganize your presentation.
Light table displays slide thumbnails as if on a light table, which lets you see more slides at once. This view is useful if you have many slides and want to reorganize your presentation. You can drag the slide thumbnails to change their order.
Outline view lets you add and edit text directly in the slide navigator. It’s useful for seeing the flow of text-rich presentations.

Outline view
Outline view, which displays the title and bulleted text of each slide in the slide navigator, is most useful for quickly entering content to create a presentation because you can type bulleted text directly into the slide navigator. You can edit your presentation in the slide navigator as well, dragging bullets from one slide to another, or dragging them to a higher or lower level on the same slide.
