Outline View in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac

Even though the Outline view is new for PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, it’s not absolutely new since you always had access to your presentation’s text outline through the Slides/Outline Pane on the left side of the PowerPoint interface. What’s changed though is that you no longer need to switch tabs within the Pane, as you would do in PowerPoint 2011. Now you just access the outline within a new view!
