Make manual changes in PowerPoint and save them

Overview 

Office Timeline can accommodate some changes that you make manually on the slide (using PowerPoint’s controls instead of the add-in’s). This post explains how to save those manual changes.

Steps

  1. Click on the timeline object you want to modify and make the desired manual change (date & text updates, color adjustments, etc). In our example, we will manually change the highlighted End Date from Sep 7 to Sep 30 by typing in the new date directly on the PowerPoint slide.
