You may want to create another slide that is similar to what you already have. You may want to use the same slide twice. You may also need to create a slightly edited chart than what you already have on an existing slide. Duplicating and editing is easier than redoing it again.

Shapes in PowerPoint are very useful in representing design or content, or in showing a process or a sequence. However, when you create a slide that has many such shapes, you’ll find that most of your shapes may be the same size and may also share other similar attributes. Yes, you can go ahead and insert the same shape repeatedly, but that will consume much of your productive time that you could have used elsewhere!
