The Comments option works great for this purpose since it allows feedback without actually editing the slides themselves. A comment is a note that can be attached to any slide object or to a whole slide. You can add comments to write important notes for particular slide objects or for the slides themselves. This is a great way to provide feedback. Once a comment is added, you can edit the comment.

If it doesn’t, you may want to explore some advanced options that let you format your Data Table exactly as you want. This may help you to highlight the text or grid lines so that you can make the Data Table stand out.
