In our commenting series of tutorials we already learnt how to Add, Edit, or Delete Comments within PowerPoint’s desktop application — we also explored Commenting within PowerPoint Online (OneDrive). In this tutorial we’ll explain how to use commenting and at the same time collaborate between PowerPoint Online and PowerPoint 2013 (desktop application).

Now you need to compare and merge these copies into a single, cohesive file without losing anything at all!

You have a 5 minute video or audio clip playing on your slide. And exactly after the clip has played for 30 seconds, you want some text to appear super-imposed above the video clip. It might seem difficult, but you can end up with these results quite easily using the Trigger Animation option. These Trigger animations typically happen as a result of a click on some other slide object — but in PowerPoint 2013, you can now cause Trigger animations to also happen on media playback through a Bookmark.
