How to Add Section in PowerPoint? [And Why to Use them!]

When creating a big presentation (of more than 30 or 40 slides), there are times when you end up looking for a slide that you just created, and it takes you quite some time to locate it! If this happens frequently to you, then you’re perhaps better off adding sections to your PowerPoint presentation!

To add sections in PowerPoint, right-click between any two slides in the slide navigation panel. From the options presented, click on “Add Section”. This will add a section to your PowerPoint presentation.

Adding sections and grouping slides in PowerPoint allows you to stay organized when creating and delivering a presentation. It can come in handy especially when you have a long presentation.

But, what more can you do and how exactly can you benefit from using sections in PowerPoint? Let’s find out!

1. How to Group Slides in PowerPoint? 

Let’s first start with the basics once again.

Here’s how it works – to begin with, you need to add sections in your presentation. Then, you’ll want to move the slides around so that the correct slide is present in the correct section! If needed, you can then rename the sections to be on top of things.

We’ll learn how to do all these things in the following sections of the article.

But, let’s start with grouping slides in PowerPoint as this is where the whole process begins.

To group a slide in your PowerPoint presentation, you have to select the “ Add section ” option from the dropdown menu of the slide’s navigation bar as mentioned previously.

Here’s a step-by-step process on how to do it –

Step-1: “Right-click” on the slide navigation bar

powerpoint online new section

The first step of the process is to “ Right-click ” between any two slides to add a section. Ideally, you should right-click just above the first slide from which you want to group of slides to begin.

When you right-click, you will be presented with a dropdown menu.

Step-2: Click on “Add section”

Now, from the dropdown menu, click on the “ Add sections ” option which is the last option there (as shown in the image in step 1).

Step-3: Give a name to the section

powerpoint online new section

In the pop-up window, give a name to the group and hit the “ Rename ” button. This will group all the slides below the newly added section.

Step-4: Create another group after the last slide

powerpoint online new section

When you add a section above the first slide of the group of slides, it adds all the slides below that section into one group.

To separate one group from another, add another section under the last slide of your group following the same process described above. This will separate the slides in your group from the next group.

2. How to Rename Sections in PowerPoint? 

To rename a section in your PowerPoint presentation, you have to select the rename option from the drop-down menu. The easy 3 step process is described below.

Step-1: “Right-click” on the title of the section

powerpoint online new section

The first step of the process is to “ Right-click ” on the title of the section that you want to rename. This will open a dropdown menu.

Step-2: Click on “Rename section”

In this step, all you have to do is to select the “ Rename section ” option from the dropdown menu. It is the first option in the dropdown menu (as shown in the image in step 1).

Step-3: Rename the slide

powerpoint online new section

After you click on the “ Rename Section ” option, a pop-up window will appear on your screen. Now, rename the section and then hit the “ Rename ” button.

After that, the section will be renamed accordingly.

3. How to Add Slides to a Section in PowerPoint? 

There are two ways in which you can add a slide to a group in your PowerPoint presentation. You can either add a new slide in the group or you can move a slide from another group to your preferred group.

Both of these methods are explained in the following section.

3a. Add New Slides to a Section 

To add a new slide to a section in your PowerPoint presentation, you have to select the “ New slide ” option from the drop-down menu. The whole process is described step-by-step below.

powerpoint online new section

The first step of the process is to “ Right-click ” on the slide navigation bar, in the location of the sequence of slides where you want the new slide to be added.

For example, if you want to add the slide as the fourth slide in the slide navigation bar, “ Right-click ” just above the existing fourth slide.

Step-2: Select the “New Slide” option

After you right-click on the slide navigation bar, a dropdown menu will appear on your screen. From the dropdown menu, click on the “ New Slide ” option, which is the first option in the menu.

After that, a new slide will be added to your preferred sequence.

3b. Move Slides from Other Sections 

You can also move slides from one group to another

Step-1: Select and hold the slide

powerpoint online new section

The first step of moving a slide from one group to your preferred group is to select the slide that you want to move and keep holding the “ Left mouse button ”.

This will allow you to move the slide up and down the slide navigation bar.

Step-2: Place the slide in your preferred location

powerpoint online new section

While holding the “ Left mouse button ”, drag the slide from its original position and place it in your preferred location then let go of the “ Left mouse button ”.

This way, the slide from one group will be moved to your preferred group.

4. How to Expand and Collapse Sections in PowerPoint? 

powerpoint online new section

You can also expand and collapse a section or a group of slides in PowerPoint.

To collapse a section in PowerPoint, simply click on the section name or the arrow before the name of the section. This will collapse the section and hide all the slides within the section from the slide navigation panel.

You have to use the same button to expand a section in PowerPoint. If a group is expanded then you will see a triangular arrow pointing downward, located just to the left of the title of the group.

And, if the group is already collapsed, you will be able to expand it using the same button.

4a. How to Expand and Collapse All Sections in PowerPoint?

You can also expand or collapse all sections in PowerPoint in one quick movement! Here’s how to do it –

Step-1: Right-click on any section

powerpoint online new section

The first step is to right-click on any one of the sections in your PowerPoint presentation. You will be presented with a dropdown menu.

Step-2: Click on the “Expand All” or “Collapse All” options

The next step is to simply click on the “ Collapse All ” option to collapse all the sections in your presentation (as shown in the image in step 1).

You can also click on the “ Expand All ” option to expand all the groups of slides or the sections in your PowerPoint presentation.

Do remember, the “Expand All” option can also be used when only a few sections are in a collapsed state. Using this option then will expand only the collapsed sections.

5. How to Move a Section Up or Down in Slide Thumbnail View? 

The process of moving an entire section up or down in the slide thumbnail view is very similar to moving a slide from one group to another. The whole process is described in easy steps below.

Method 1 – Dragging the Sections Up or Down

This method is the easiest when you have all the sections collapsed first.

Step-1: Collapse all the sections

The first step is to collapse all the sections in your presentation as described in the previous section. This will allow you to move a section quickly and easily.

Step-2: Click and hold the title of the section

powerpoint online new section

The first step of the process is to select the title of the section and then keep holding the “ Left mouse button ”.

Step-3: Move the section to your preferred sequence

powerpoint online new section

While holding the “ Left mouse button ”, drag the title of the group up or down to the position where you want to move the section.

After that, let go of the “ Left mouse button ” and the entire section will change its position accordingly. 

Method 2 – Using the “Right-click” Option

You can also move a complete section using the right-click option. However, it can sometimes be confusing when you have all the slides open.

Nevertheless, here’s what you need to do when moving a section in PowerPoint using this method –

Step-1: Right-click on the section

powerpoint online new section

The first step is to “Right-click” on the section that you want to move. A dropdown menu will appear.

Step-2: Move the section

The next step is to simply move the section. You can click on the “ Move Section Up ” to move the section up (as the name suggests).

Likewise, you can also click on the “Move Section Down” option to move the section below the next section.

Repeat the process if you want to move a section up or down multiple steps.

6. How to Delete a Section in PowerPoint? 

To delete a section in your PowerPoint presentation, you have to choose the remove section option in PowerPoint.

Here’s how you can remove a section in PowerPoint –

powerpoint online new section

The first step of the process is to “ Right-click ” on the title of the section. This will open a drop-down menu.

Step-2: Click on “Remove section”

After you have opened the drop-down menu, simply click on the “ Remove section ” option, which is the second option of the menu.

After that, the section will be deleted immediately, and the slides in that section will merge with the preceding section.

6a. How to Remove All Sections in PowerPoint?

If you want to get rid of all sections in your presentation, PowerPoint provides you with the option to do that as well. Don’t worry, your slides will not be deleted if you choose to remove all the sections from your PowerPoint presentation!

Here’s how to delete all sections in PowerPoint –

Step-1: Right-click on any one section

powerpoint online new section

The first step is to right-click on any one section in your PowerPoint presentation. You will be presented with a dropdown menu.

Step-2: Select the “Remove All Sections” option

From the options in the dropdown, simply click on the “ Remove All Sections ” option and this will delete all the sections in your presentation.

As mentioned before, this will not remove any of your slides. It will only remove all the sections.

6b. How to Remove a Section with Slides in PowerPoint?

Using sections comes in really handy especially when you want to delete an entire section from your presentation.

Although deleting a section in PowerPoint doesn’t delete the slides, PowerPoint also provides you with an option to delete a section along with the slides within that section.

Here’s what you need to do –

Step-1: Right-click on the section to delete

powerpoint online new section

As usual, the first step is to select the section that you want to delete and right-click on it. This will open a dropdown menu with options.

Step-2: Select the “Remove Section & Slides” option

From the dropdown, simply click on the “ Remove Section & Slides ” option. This will remove the section along with the slides in that section.

7. Can you Create Sub-Sections in PowerPoint?

Unfortunately, you can’t create a subsection in your PowerPoint presentation.

Although it is quite the obvious upgrade, and many users have been requesting it since the option to add sections was introduced in PowerPoint, you can’t make a subsection in your PowerPoint.

However, to organize your PowerPoint presentation, you can insert a new section and add an underscore (“_”) before the title of the section to identify that it is a subsection.

Organize Your PowerPoint Presentation Using Sections

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated June 9, 2021

Applies to: Microsoft ® PowerPoint ® 2013, 2016, 2019 and 365 (Windows)

You can manage a PowerPoint presentation by organizing it into sections. Although you can work with sections in Normal View or Slide Sorter View, it's easier to work with sections in Slide Sorter View. You can insert, name, move, collapse, expand and remove sections in PowerPoint. If you are working with a team on a large presentation, you can assign team members to different sections. In PowerPoint 2019 or 365, you can also use Summary Zoom to create links to different sections.

The Sections command appears on the Home tab in the Ribbon in the Slides group (although you can use the context menu to add and manage sections). Sections created with the Sections command are different from section layouts.

In this article, we'll be using the Slide Sorter to work with sections.

How to Organize Your PowerPoint Slides by Adding Sections

' data-src=

Want to organize your PowerPoint slides a little better? There’s a behind-the-scenes trick that I love using in my own presentations: Sections!

In March 2021, I was speaking with GEDIs about dataviz tricks for presentations. (The GEDI program is the Graduate Education Diversity Internship within the American Evaluation Association.)

I was scrolling through my slides, and someone asked how I created these “sections” to organize my content.

Adding sections to PowerPoint has been a gamechanger for me personally. They help me stay organized behind the scenes, which helps my audience, too. An organized presenter = an organized presentation = a happy audience that can learn from us headache-free.

Watch the 7-Minute Tutorial on Sections

I started to write a blog post with screenshots about sections… but that felt impossible. I wanted to show you how sections work, so I recorded you a tutorial.

What’s inside:

  • A demo of what sections are
  • How to add them
  • How I use them to hide topics
  • How I use them to re-order topics

What Are PowerPoint Sections?

Sections help us organize our slides into meaningful groups, categories, chunks, buckets, or chapters of a presentation.

In the video, you’ll see what they look like.

Can you spot the words above some of the slides?

Our audience won’t see the sections. They’re for us, the presenters.

How to Add Sections

It’s easy to add new sections to a presentation.

Here’s how:

  • I like to be in Slide Sorter view first. (The birds-eye-view of the presentation where you can view all the miniature slides.)
  • Decide which slide is going to start the new section. Click on that slide to activate it.
  • Right-click and Add Section.
  • In the pop-up window, give your section a name. I use names like Introduction, Case Study, Conclusion, etc.

That’s it!!!

How to Use Sections to Hide Topics

I like to keep all my slides for a given workshop within a single file.

While prepping for upcoming talks, I go through the full file – all 900+ slides! – and choose which sections I’ll talk about.

I might cover Sections A, B, and C for one group.

I might cover Sections A, D, and E for another group.

I might add Sections F, G, and H as brand new topics for another group.

(For private trainings, I review the group’s materials ahead of time and hold some planning calls to figure out which sections are going to be the best use of our time together.)

As I’m deciding which sections to include, I simply hide and unhide the slides. In the video, you’ll learn how to hide and unhide slides.

(Yes, you can hide and unhide slides without having any sections. I personally like using sections so I can think about an entire category of slides that should be shown or hidden.)

How to Use Sections to Re-Order Topics

I definitely recommend outlining your presentation in a document or spreadsheet before making all your slides.

Our outlines don’t need to be 100% finished before we make our slides. I almost always make changes along the way.

One common change is re-ordering topics. I might envision covering topics A, B, and C, in that order. But later, as I’m designing the slides, I might decide to cover topics A, C, and B.

In the video, you’ll learn how to drag and drop entire sections to re-order them.

Let me know how you’ve used sections to keep your content organized!

PowerPoint Sections: How to Create Sections in PowerPoint to Reorganize Presentations Quickly

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use PowerPoint sections, including how to create them, rename them, and use them to rearrange entire segments of the presentation in the Slide Sorter View.

  • Tutorial Summary
  • Files & Resources
  • Premium Course

PowerPoint sections are useful for collapsing and expanding multiple slides, removing multiple slides, and rearranging segments of presentations.

To add a section, press Alt, H, T1 in the PC version of PowerPoint and select “Add Section”:

(This shortcut is Alt, H, T in older, non-365 versions; there is no built-in Mac shortcut for this command, so you must go to the “Home” menu and click on “Section” manually.)

PowerPoint Sections - Add Section

Once you do this, the section name will appear on the left-hand side of the screen on top of the presentation slides in this new section:

PowerPoint Section Name in Normal View

You can now collapse and expand all the slides in this section by right-clicking it or going to the “Section” menu with Alt, H, T1:

Collapsing and Expanding PowerPoint Sections

You can also drag around the section and put it before or after other parts of the presentation:

Moving Around PowerPoint Sections

Sections are useful in this “normal view,” but to use them most effectively , you’ll need to enter the Slide Sorter View (see below).

The Slide Sorter View and PowerPoint Sections

The default viewing mode in PowerPoint is too limited to use sections effectively because you can only see a few slides on the screen at once.

To use sections more effectively, you should enter the Slide Sorter View with the Alt, W, I shortcut (⌘ + 2 on Mac):

Slide Sorter View in PowerPoint

This “Slide Sorter View” removes the main slide edit area and presents only a high-level presentation summary.

You can’t use this view to edit slides, but you can use it to move around normal slides.

To return to the “normal view,” press Alt, W, L on PC or ⌘ + 1 on Mac.

Most shortcuts that work in the normal viewing mode of PowerPoint also work in the Slide Sorter View:

Move to Previous or Next Slide: Arrow Keys (PC / Mac)

Jump to First Slide: Home (PC) / Fn + <– (Mac)

Jump to Last Slide: End (PC) /  Fn + –> (Mac)

Select Multiple Slides: Shift + Click (PC / Mac)

Insert Slide: Ctrl + M (PC) / ⌘ + Shift + N (Mac)

Insert Slide and Select Layout: Alt, H, I / N/A on Mac

Delete Slide: Del (PC / Mac)

Duplicate Current Slide: Ctrl + Shift + D (PC) / ⌘ + Shift + D (Mac)

Without even using sections, you can select multiple slides in the Slide Sorter View by pressing Shift and clicking on each one, and you can drag them to any position you want:

Moving Slides in the Slide Sorter View

Doing this in the normal editing view is much less efficient because you must scroll to select multiple slides.

How to Create Sections in PowerPoint: Best Practices

When you add sections in PowerPoint, you should always start at the end of the presentation and move to the front .

When you add a section, PowerPoint applies it to all the slides after the insertion point – so if you add a section on slide 1, every slide in your presentation will be in that section!

Let’s say that your presentation has 25 slides, and they’re organized like this:

Slides 1 – 10: Introduction

Slides 11 – 14: Market Analysis

Slides 15 – 19: Leadership Team

Slides 20 – 25: Conclusions

If you want to add sections to this presentation, you should open the Slide Sorter View, go to slide 20, and add the “Conclusions” section there with Alt, H, T1, A.

Then, you should move to slide 15 and add the “Leadership Team” section, move to slide 11 and add the “Market Analysis” section, and, finally, move to slide 1 and add the “Introduction” section.

Ideally, each section will start with a normal slide that indicates the section’s title or marks it as the next “part” of the presentation.

We follow this approach in the Jazz Pharmaceuticals slides here:

Section Divider Slides in the Jazz Pharmaceuticals Presentation

With these “Section Divider” slides in the normal presentation, it’s easy to enter the Slide Sorter View and use the Alt, H, T1 shortcut to add sections in the right spots:

How to Create Sections in PowerPoint in the Slide Sorter View

In the Slide Sorter View, you can also press the Right Mouse Button (RMB) on a Section Name to activate additional commands, such as “Remove Section & Slides” and “Move Section Up/Down”:

Additional Commands in the Slide Sorter View

These commands can be useful if you start with an existing presentation and remove large parts rather than specific slides.

PowerPoint Section Practice Exercise: How to Add Sections to a Long Presentation

Your practice exercise in this lesson is to take the “Before” version of the Jazz Pharmaceuticals slides , add sections in the right spots, and rearrange the entire presentation so the sections are in the correct numerical order.

The presentation should start with Section 1 and then move to Section 2, 3, and so on, and the last two parts should be Appendix A and Appendix B.

You can start this exercise by entering the Slide Sorter View with Alt, W, I, and jumping to the end of the presentation with the End key (Fn + –> on Mac):

Entering the Slide Sorter View and Jumping to the End

You can then move to slide 48 and press Alt, H, T1, A to add a section and name it “Financial_Projections”:

Inserting Sections in the Slide Sorter View

And then, you can proceed backward to slide 44 and add a section and name for the Appendix B slides.

Next, go to slide 32, add a section, and do the same on slides 28, 23, 14, and 2.

When you’re done, your presentation should look like this in the Slide Sorter View:

Slide Sorter View with PowerPoint Sections Added

Now you need to reorder the presentation.

For this part, you might have to enter the normal viewing/edit mode with Alt, W, L to read the “Section Numbers” on each divider slide.

For your reference, here’s the correct numerical order:

Section 1: Market Update and Summary

Section 2: Review of Jaguar Management Forecasts

Section 3: Jaguar Valuation

Section 4: Potential Strategic Alternatives

Section 5: Process Recommendations

Appendix A: Financial Projection Assumptions

Appendix B: Valuation Data

For this part of the exercise, it’s useful to collapse all the sections with the Alt, H, T1, O shortcut so you can focus on just their order:

Collapsing Sections in the Slide Sorter View

Once you’ve done this, you can click on each section name and drag it up or down to put the section in its proper position:

Reordering PowerPoint Sections in the Slide Sorter View

When you’ve finished rearranging all the sections, you can expand everything once again with Alt, H, T1, X, and your presentation should look like this in the Slide Sorter View:

Expanded Sections in the Slide Sorter View

Finally, you’ll need to move the “Table of Contents” slide to the Introduction section.

Currently, it’s at the end of the “Management Forecasts” section, which is incorrect:

Beyond PowerPoint Sections: More Advanced Methods for Organizing Your Presentations

Sections and the Slide Sorter View are very useful for organizing and reordering your presentations, but they only scratch the surface of the proper PowerPoint setup required for investment banking pitch books .

It’s also critical to understand the Slide Master , templates based on custom layouts, and how to use tools such as Drawing Guides, Theme Colors, and “reference shapes” to make your presentations easy to modify.

We cover all that and more in the full PowerPoint Pro course on this site, and we even give you tools and templates for workflow automation, including our full PowerPoint macro package.

I have Office 365 and in the offline App I can add sections in the normal way. Right clicking in the thumbnail pane.

However using the online version on another PC I am unable to add sections. When searching helps it comes up, but clicking on it has no effect.

How to add section and slide zooms in microsoft powerpoint.

Want more professional transitions for your presentation?

Quick Links

Create a section zoom in powerpoint, create a slide zoom in powerpoint, customize a section or slide zoom.

If you want to move to a different slide or section in your presentation, you can easily add a link on your slide . But by using a Section or Slide Zoom in PowerPoint, you can make that move look professional.

In Microsoft PowerPoint, a Section or Slide Zoom places an image on your slide instead of linked text. In addition, when you click to visit that section or slide, you'll see a nice zoom effect. You can customize the displayed image, duration of the zoom effect, and additional actions.

As of this writing at the beginning of April 2022, you can create a Section or Slide Zoom on Windows with Microsoft 365 and in PowerPoint 2019 or later. For Mac and mobile PowerPoint users, you can play a Zoom, but not create one.

Using sections in PowerPoint is a good way to divide your presentation into separate portions. Whether you use it to organize your slideshow or show only particular sections to certain audiences, sections are handy tools.

Related: How to Organize a Microsoft PowerPoint Slideshow Using Sections

To create a Section Zoom, you'll need your sections set up ahead of time. When you're ready, go to the slide where you want to add the Section Zoom.

Head to the Insert tab and Links section of the ribbon. Click the Zoom drop-down arrow and pick "Section Zoom."

In the Insert Section Zoom window that appears, check the box next to the section you want to use. You can also include zooms for multiple sections. Click "Insert."

You'll see the Section Zoom pop onto your slide. It's similar in appearance to a static image of the first slide in that section. You can move the zoom by selecting and dragging it or resize it by dragging a corner or edge.

When you present the slideshow, click the Section Zoom. You'll see the zoom effect as you land on the first slide in that section. By default, you'll advance through each slide in the section and return to the zoom. This can be changed as described in the customization options below.

Similar to a Section Zoom in PowerPoint is the Slide Zoom. If you don't use sections in your slideshow or simply want the ability to jump to a certain slide , this is the way to go.

Related: How to Link to Another Slide in the Same PowerPoint Presentation

Go to the slide where you want the Slide Zoom. Then, head to the Insert tab and Links section of the ribbon. Click the Zoom drop-down arrow and pick "Slide Zoom."

In the Insert Slide Zoom window that opens, check the box next to the slide you want to use. You can also include zooms for multiple slides; however, you might consider using a Summary Zoom in this case instead. Click "Insert."

Like the Section Zoom, you'll see the Slide Zoom on your slide where you can drag to move or resize it.

When you present the slideshow, click the Slide Zoom. You'll see the zoom effect as you land on the slide. You'll then advance through the remainder of your slideshow. However, you can return to the zoom if you prefer using a customization option below.

The customization options for Section and Slide Zooms are the same. You can adjust the zoom's actions, change the appearance, or use additional formatting tools .

Zoom Options

Select the Section or Slide Zoom you want to edit. Then, visit the Zoom tab that displays. On the left side, you have the following actions you can adjust in the Zoom Options section.

Change Image : If you prefer to display an image rather than the slide for the zoom, select this option. You can then insert a picture from a file, stock images, online pictures, or from icons.

Return to Zoom : To go back to the zoom on the slide, check this box. For a Section Zoom, you'll return after advancing to the last slide in the section. For a Slide Zoom, you'll return after viewing that particular slide.

Zoom Transition : While the intent of a Section or Slide Zoom is to provide a transition effect, you may prefer to use the feature without that effect. Uncheck the Zoom Transition box to remove the effect.

Duration : If you decide to keep the Zoom Transition , you can use the Duration field to change the length of the effect. Enter a number in seconds or use the arrows to increase or decrease the duration.

Related: How to Use the Morph Transition in PowerPoint

Zoom Tab Tools

Along with the above actions, you can change the zoom style, border, background, alt text, and more. Select the Section or Slide Zoom and use the tools on the Zoom tab.

Zoom Format Options

To change the fill or line, add a shadow or reflection, or scale the zoom, right-click and pick "Zoom Format Options" from the menu. The Format Section/Slide Zoom sidebar opens for you to adjust the formatting.

For a unique way to jump to a particular section or different slide in your PowerPoint presentation, check out the Section and Slide Zoom features.

How To Use Sections in Microsoft PowerPoint Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will talk about How To Use Sections in Microsoft PowerPoint. It’s a versatile tool for creating visually appealing and engaging presentations. However, as your presentations grow in complexity and length, it can become challenging to maintain an organized structure. This is where PowerPoint Sections come to the rescue. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how to use PowerPoint Sections effectively to manage and organize your slides for maximum efficiency and productivity.

Why Use Sections in PowerPoint?

Sections in PowerPoint offer a simple yet powerful way to divide and conquer your presentations. They bring several benefits to the table:

1. Enhanced Organization

Divide your presentation into logical sections to create a clear structure. Whether it’s an introduction, multiple chapters, or various topics, sections help you keep your content well-organized.

2. Streamlined Navigation

Sections make it easier to navigate through your presentation, particularly when dealing with a large number of slides. You can expand or collapse sections to focus on the relevant content, simplifying the process.

3. Efficient Slide Management

Working with sections allows you to perform actions on specific groups of slides. This includes changing backgrounds, hiding or unhiding slides, altering layouts, and adding transitions – all with just a few clicks.

Creating and Managing Sections

Let’s dive into the practical aspects of creating and managing sections in PowerPoint:

Adding a New Section

  • Open your PowerPoint presentation.
  • Navigate to the “Home” tab.
  • In the “Slides” group, click on the “Section” dropdown.
  • Select “Add Section” and give it a name.

Repeat this process for each section you want to create.

Renaming Sections

To rename a section, simply right-click on the section name and choose “Rename Section.” Give it a descriptive name for easy identification.

Organizing Sections

To rearrange your sections, you can drag and drop them to the desired position. Alternatively, right-click on a section and choose “Move Section Up” or “Move Section Down.”

Removing Sections

If a section is no longer needed, right-click on its name and select “Remove Section.” Be cautious, as this action deletes both the section and its associated slides.

Using Sections for Maximum Efficiency

Now that you’ve created and organized your sections, here’s how to leverage them for a smoother workflow:

Applying Commands to Specific Sections

  • In the Thumbnail View, select a section by clicking on its name.
  • Right-click on a slide within the section.
  • You’ll see commands that can be applied to all slides in that section, such as copying, duplicating, deleting, changing backgrounds, or hiding/unhiding slides.

Bulk Editing

Want to change the background color, transition type, or slide layout for all slides in a section? It’s a breeze! Just select the section and apply the desired changes.

Slideshow Customization

During a presentation, you can choose to hide specific sections to focus on specific content. Simply select the section, go to the “Slideshow” tab, and click “Hide Slide.”

Mastering PowerPoint Sections is a game-changer for anyone who frequently works with this presentation software. It brings a new level of control and organization to your slides, ensuring your presentations are polished and professional. Start using sections in your PowerPoint presentations and experience the benefits firsthand.

In our next post, we’ll explore advanced techniques for using PowerPoint transitions to make your presentations more dynamic and engaging.

Stay tuned, and keep creating stunning presentations!

How to Add Sections to a PowerPoint Presentation

(Note: S uitable for users of PowerPoint 2016, 2019, 2021, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 . )

Divide a PowerPoint presentation up into sections to stay organized and focused.

The Add Sections to a PowerPoint Presentation Explained

PowerPoint presentations can easily get out of control. Before we know it, we have a presentation that contains 50+ slides, and we need to be able to navigate expertly and seamlessly around our presentation. We don’t want to be scrolling through endless linear slides in front of a client, struggling to find the slide they have requested to look at.

Sections can help us with this. We can divide our presentation up into manageable ‘chunks’ or sections. We can give those sections meaningful names. We can collapse up sections that are of no interest and focus on the important sections. We can even create dynamic section zooms to really add the ‘wow’ factor to our presentation.

Sections help us stay organized and get to the right content at the right time.

powerpoint online new section

In this article, we will be working with a presentation with 23 slides.

Add Sections

Slide sorter view, remove sections, to collapse/expand individual sections, collapse/expand all sections, moving sections, section zoom.

To create a section, we first need to select all the slides that belong in that section. We want three slides in the first section.

  • Click on the first slide.
  • Hold down the CTRL key and click on the other slides to select them.

powerpoint online new section

These slides are our custom intro slides. We will have these rotating automatically as people join the presentation to give them something interesting to look at while waiting for the other attendees to arrive.

  • Right-click on any of the slides.
  • Choose Add Section from the menu.

powerpoint online new section

  • Alternatively, from the Home tab, in the Slides group, click the drop-down arrow next to Section .

powerpoint online new section

  • Type a name for the section.
  • Click Rename .

powerpoint online new section

The section is now renamed. Notice the small red arrow next to the new section name. We’ll speak about this a bit later on in this article.

powerpoint online new section

We need to repeat this process throughout the presentation. Select the slides, add a section, and give the section a name.

powerpoint online new section

Sometimes, it is hard to see all slides and sections in our presentation when working in Normal view. Switch to the Slide Sorter view to get a better overview of the layout of the presentation.

  • From the View tab, in the Presentation views group, click Slide Sorter .

This view shows our presentation split into sections.

powerpoint online new section

This is also a great view to use if we need to move slides from one section to another.

  • Click on the slide to be moved.
  • Drag and drop it to its new location.

We can remove redundant sections in two ways. We can remove just the section OR the section and all slides contained within that section.

  • Right-click on the section name.
  • Choose Remove Section to remove the section, but keep any slides.

powerpoint online new section

We can remove sections in the Slide Sorter view or Normal view. The process is exactly the same.

If we want to remove all sections from our presentation but keep the slides, we can select Remove All Sections from the contextual menu.

powerpoint online new section

Collapse and Expand Sections

Earlier in this article, I highlighted the red arrow that appears next to each section. This red arrow is the collapse/expand option.

We can collapse or expand each section depending on the sections and slides we want to see. For example, maybe my audience only wants to see the ‘Sales Comparison’ section. I could collapse all the other sections and keep ‘Sales Comparison’ expanded.

This has a couple of advantages. It enables us to focus only on what is of interest to the audience and it prevents the audience from being overwhelmed with unnecessary slides of information.

We can collapse and expand individual sections or collapse and expand all sections.

  • Navigate to the section.
  • Click the red arrow to expand or collapse.

In this example, I have clicked on the red arrow next to every section except the ‘Sales Comparison’ section.

Notice the number in brackets (parentheses) after the section name. This tells us how many slides are contained within that section.

powerpoint online new section

We can quickly collapse or expand all sections in our presentation.

  • Right-click on the red arrow next to any section.
  • Choose Collapse All or Expand All .

powerpoint online new section

We can move entire sections within our presentation. When we move a section, the section and all the slides contained within that section will move too.

  • Choose Move Section Up or Move Section Down .

powerpoint online new section

This method will move the section up one or down one. To move a section to a completely different location, drag and drop from the Slide Sorter view or Normal view.

One of the newer features introduced in PowerPoint is Section Zoom. Using section zoom, we can create a really nice zoom-in and zoom-out effect and jump between different sections in our presentation. Section zooms are similar to a table of contents in a document. They allow the presenter or the customer to choose their own route through the presentation.

In order for section zoom to work correctly, we must have a presentation already divided into sections.  

  • From the Insert tab in the Links group, click the drop-down arrow underneath Zoom .
  • Click on Section Zoom .

powerpoint online new section

The Insert Section Zoom window will open. We can see our sections represented by a thumbnail that shows the first slide in the section.

powerpoint online new section

  • Select the sections to include in the zoom.

We are going to include all sections except the Custom Intro.

powerpoint online new section

  • Click Insert .

The thumbnails will appear on the slide. Drag and drop to rearrange them.

The presenter or customer can now choose which topic they are interested in.

  • Press F5 to run the slide show.
  • Click on any thumbnail.

powerpoint online new section

The result is a slick zoom-in effect. When the presenter clicks the mouse, PowerPoint will move on to the next slide in that section. When the section is complete, PowerPoint will zoom back out to the main page.

Section Zooms are highly customizable.

Notice the Zoom contextual ribbon. Using this ribbon, we can change the thumbnail image, apply a zoom style, add a border, add effects, change the height and width, and control how we want the zoom to transition between slides.

Organize Your Presentation With Sections

Discover how to use PowerPoint’s section tool to make your presentations more organized, better managed, and faster to develop.

Overwhelmed by a slew of slides?  Break them into sections!  PowerPoint’s section tool (available since PPT 2010) can easily make your presentations more organized, better managed, and faster to develop.  Sections let you organize your slides, much like you would use folders to organize your files.

You can use named sections to keep track of groups of slides, or you can assign sections to co-workers to make ownership clear during collaboration.  And if you’re starting with a blank slate, sections can even be used to outline the topics in your presentation.

Why Sections in PowerPoint are very useful?

By using  sections  you can:

  • Divide the slides into logical subgroups
  • Organize the chapters using meaningful names
  • Reorder sections using the drag and drop
  • Apply effects in groups (sections), for example the same animation transition to all the slides under a section
  • Collapse sections
  • Hide all the slides in a given section
  • Delete all the slides under a section

The PowerPoint section feature is easy to be used. You can add, edit, remove sections by using the Sections menu in PowerPoint 2010. Typically, sections are added from the Slide Sorter window.

Right click the Slide and choose Add Section option from the context menu.

Add Section

Now a new section will be added with name “Untitled Section”. Whatever slides you will create, will be categorized under this section. You can start another section in the presentation by the same way.

Once the section is added, right-click its title bar and choose Rename Section.

Rename Section

Specify the new name and click Rename.

Rename Section

That’s it, the particular section will be renamed. Now you can easily create, differentiate and manage your slides within the presentation.  Moving groups of slides around is easier than ever when they’re grouped in sections.  You can also minimize or maximize groups of sectioned slides too.

This section feature is also good for organizing the content in the edit view and keep an eye in the overall information at once…sort of like an outline.

How to Create Sections in PowerPoint

A powerpoint slide with multiple sections

PowerPoint has become one of the most widely used presentation software in the world, and for good reason. It is a powerful and intuitive tool that lets you create presentations with ease and flexibility. One of the most useful features of PowerPoint is the ability to create sections. This article will cover everything you need to know about creating sections in PowerPoint, from why organizing your presentation matters, to troubleshooting common issues that may arise.

Table of Contents

Why Organizing Your PowerPoint Presentation Matters

When creating a PowerPoint presentation, it is important to think carefully about how you organize the content. A well-organized presentation helps the audience understand the structure of your ideas and the flow of information. This is where sections come in handy. With sections, you can divide your presentation into logical parts, which makes it easier for you and your audience to follow the content. By using sections, you can also quickly navigate between different parts of your presentation, without having to scroll through a long list of slides or sections.

In addition to using sections, it is also important to consider the visual organization of your presentation. This includes using consistent fonts, colors, and layouts throughout the slides. By doing so, you can create a cohesive and professional-looking presentation that is easy on the eyes. Another tip is to use visual aids, such as images, charts, and graphs, to help illustrate your points and break up text-heavy slides. Remember, a well-organized and visually appealing presentation can make all the difference in engaging your audience and effectively conveying your message.

Understanding the Benefits of Sectioning in PowerPoint

Sectioning in PowerPoint offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows you to break your presentation down into manageable parts, making it easier to create and modify your content. Secondly, sections help you keep your content organized and structure your presentation in a logical manner. Additionally, sections make it easier to collaborate with others on the same presentation by dividing the work into different sections. Lastly, sections can help you save time and work more efficiently when editing your presentation.

Another benefit of sectioning in PowerPoint is that it allows you to easily navigate through your presentation during a live presentation. By dividing your presentation into sections, you can quickly jump to the relevant section without having to scroll through the entire presentation. This can help you deliver a more polished and professional presentation, as you can easily access the information you need without any delays or distractions.

How to Use Sections to Improve Navigation in Your Presentation

Using sections to improve navigation in your presentation is easy. To create a section, simply select the slide or slides you want to include in the section, right-click on the selection and choose “Add Section”. You can name the section whatever you like. Once you have created a section, you can easily navigate between them by using the navigation pane on the left-hand side of the screen. The navigation pane will display a list of all the sections in your presentation and allow you to move between them with ease.

Another benefit of using sections in your presentation is that it allows you to organize your content in a logical and meaningful way. By grouping related slides together in a section, you can help your audience better understand the flow and structure of your presentation. Additionally, sections can be collapsed or expanded in the navigation pane, making it easier to focus on specific parts of your presentation and avoid distractions.

Creating Your First Section in PowerPoint: A Step-by-Step Guide

To create your first section in PowerPoint, follow these steps:

  • Open PowerPoint and navigate to the slide or slides that you want to include in the section.
  • Select the slide or slides by clicking and dragging your cursor over them.
  • Right-click on the selected slide or slides and choose “Add Section”.
  • Name the section whatever you like.
  • You will now see a section header appear in the navigation pane, indicating that a new section has been created.

Sections in PowerPoint are a great way to organize your presentation and make it easier to navigate. You can add as many sections as you need and move slides between them at any time. To move a slide to a different section, simply click and drag it to the desired section header in the navigation pane. You can also collapse and expand sections by clicking on the arrow next to the section header. This can be especially helpful when working with longer presentations with multiple sections.

Tips for Naming and Renaming Sections in PowerPoint

When naming or renaming sections, it is important to choose names that are clear and descriptive. This will make it easier to navigate between sections and understand the content. Additionally, if you have multiple people working on the same presentation, it is a good idea to establish a naming convention that everyone follows to ensure consistency. To rename a section in PowerPoint, simply right-click on the section header in the navigation pane and choose “Rename Section”.

Another important consideration when naming or renaming sections in PowerPoint is to keep the names concise. Long section names can be difficult to read and may not fit properly in the navigation pane, making it harder to navigate between sections. It is also a good idea to avoid using special characters or symbols in section names, as these can cause issues when exporting or sharing the presentation with others. By following these tips, you can create clear and concise section names that make it easy to navigate and understand your presentation.

How to Move Slides Between Sections in PowerPoint

If you need to move a slide from one section to another, simply drag and drop the slide from its current location to the desired section in the navigation pane.

It’s important to note that when you move a slide to a new section, any animations or transitions on that slide will also be moved to the new section. If you have custom animations or transitions that are specific to a certain section, you may need to adjust them after moving the slide.

Additionally, if you have a large number of slides and sections in your PowerPoint presentation, it can be helpful to rearrange the order of your sections. This can make it easier to navigate and organize your presentation, especially if you need to make changes or updates later on.

Rearranging Sections in Your PowerPoint Presentation for Better Flow

If you need to rearrange the order of the sections in your presentation, simply click and drag the section header to the desired location in the navigation pane.

Rearranging the sections in your PowerPoint presentation can greatly improve the flow and organization of your content. Consider grouping related sections together or placing the most important sections at the beginning of your presentation to grab your audience’s attention. Additionally, you can use section breaks to create pauses or transitions between topics. Experiment with different arrangements to find the one that works best for your presentation.

Customizing Section Headers and Footers in PowerPoint

PowerPoint does not allow customization of section headers and footers. However, you can customize the look of your slides to match the rest of your content. This includes adding a date and time stamp to your slides or adding a logo or image to your slides. To do this, simply click on the “Insert” tab and choose the appropriate option.

Using the Slide Sorter or Slides Pane to Manage Your Sections and Slides

The Slide Sorter view or the Slides Pane is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your sections and slides with ease. To access the Slide Sorter view, click on the “View” tab and then click on “Slide Sorter”. The Slide Sorter view will appear and allow you to view and manage all the sections and slides in your presentation.

Saving Time with Keyboard Shortcuts for Sectioning in PowerPoint

While PowerPoint does not have specific keyboard shortcuts for adding sections, renaming sections, or moving slides to different sections, there are many other keyboard shortcuts that can help you work more efficiently. For example, you can use “Ctrl + M” to insert a new slide, “Ctrl + D” to duplicate a slide, or “Ctrl + Arrow Keys” to move a slide up or down in the order.

Troubleshooting Common Issues When Working with Sections in PowerPoint

While sections in PowerPoint are generally easy to work with, there are a few common issues that may arise. For example, if you are having trouble deleting a section, make sure that the section is not the only one in the presentation before attempting to delete it. Another common issue is accidentally moving a slide or section to the wrong location. To avoid this, always double-check your work before making any changes.

Best Practices for Using Sections in Large or Complex Presentations

When working on large or complex presentations, using sections can help you stay organized and ensure that the content flows smoothly. However, it is important to plan your sections carefully and avoid creating too many sections, as this can make your presentation confusing and difficult to navigate. Additionally, if you are collaborating with others on the same presentation, make sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to how the sections are organized.

How Sectioning Can Help You Collaborate More Effectively on PowerPoint Presentations

Using sections in PowerPoint can also help you collaborate more effectively with others on the same presentation. By dividing the work into different sections, you can assign tasks to different team members and ensure that everyone is working on the same page. Additionally, sections makes it easy to review and edit each other’s work, without having to scroll through a long list of slides or sections.

As you can see, creating sections in PowerPoint is a powerful tool for organizing your presentation and improving navigation. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can begin using sections in your PowerPoint presentations with confidence and start creating presentations that are both visually appealing and easy to navigate.

John Kavanagh , Conor McGregor ’s coach, is behind a company that has raised $6.5 million (€6 million) on the NYSE American exchange, which lists small cap stocks. The funds are to be used to help develop a chain of MMA gyms with an associated online platform.

New filings to the NYSE American show that the company, Alta Global Group Limited, began trading on the exchange in late March and floated 1.3 million shares at a price of $5.00 each. Its shares closed at $4.18 on Thursday, its first day of trading.

The company, which was originally founded in Australia, said that $2.2 million of the money raised in the initial public offering would go towards growing its customer base in North America, Asia and Europe.

A further $1 million would go towards investing in technology, nearly $700,000 towards paying down some existing debt, while the remainder will be used for general working capital, the prospectus says.

Alta Global, which trades under the ticker symbol MMA, began life as a mixed martial arts training company in Australia, before expanding through a number of acquisitions. In its current form it aims to sell an MMA training programme to amateurs and people looking for exercise programmes, both through a network of partner gyms and through its online and social media platforms.

The company notes in its prospectus that “there are currently over 45,597 martial arts and combat sports gyms in the US alone that are expected to generate over $12.6 billion in annual revenue in 2023″.

It has signed up a number of former professional coaches to promote the company and use its training programme, including Mr Kavanagh.

The company says that “Mr Kavanagh has assisted in the development of the training programmes available exclusively on our platform and offers these programmes at his prominent gym, SBG Ireland, in Dublin”, while he also “assisted us in engaging other globally recognised partner gym communities”.

Mr Kavanagh is described in the prospectus as a co-founder of the company, but according to the prospectus he does not hold any executive or board position. The prospectus also does not set out whether Mr Kavanagh has any shares in the company. He is, however, a director of a wholly owned Irish subsidiary called Wimp 2 Warrior (Ireland) Limited. Mr Kavanagh was contacted for comment.

Financial statements included with the prospectus note that it made an operating loss of A$20.5 million (€12.3 million) in 2023 and a loss of A$11.1 million in 2022. It notes in the document that it “may continue to incur net losses in the future”. It had an accumulated deficit to date of A$38.3 million (€23.1 million).

It further states that it expects its “research and development and management and administration expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may raise through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding”.

The company has raised around A$31 million through the sale of shares and loan notes, and that it may need to raise further funds in the future.

Its directors note that the company’s auditors have noted a “substantial doubt related to our ability to continue as a going concern”.

Here’s a recent AP college basketball story:

The 2024 version of March Madness has apexed with a trio of streak busters in the desert.

N.C. State is in the Final Four for the first time since Jim Valvano ran around trying to find someone to hug after the 1983 national championship. Purdue and big man Zach Edey will make their first Final Four appearance since Joe Barry Carroll dominated the paint in 1980.

Alabama ? Never been.

An angry pack of Huskies awaits them in the Valley of the Sun.

Dominating on its way to a fifth national championship a year ago, UConn has looked even more unbeatable so far in its run to become the first repeat champion since Florida in 2006-07.

“Our defense is elite. Our offense is elite. We rebound the ball,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said. “These guys play every possession like it’s the end of the world.”

The Huskies have done nothing but end opponents’ hopes through consecutive dominating March runs.

UConn steamrolled its way through the 2023 bracket , winning each game by at least 13 points. That was the best since Indiana in 1981.

These Huskies may be better.

With 7-foot-2 Donovan Clingan in the middle and talent across the roster, UConn won its first four NCAA Tournament games by an average of 27.7 points. The Huskies made Illinois look like a JV team in the Elite Eight, reeling off 30 — yes, 30 — straight points in a 77-52 victory to become the first reigning champion to reach the Final Four since Florida’s consecutive titles.

Knocking off UConn will be a monumental task in Glendale, Arizona, starting with Alabama in the semifinals Saturday.

“His (Hurley’s) formula is working out pretty well,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said. “I’m going to have to figure out that formula myself here soon.”

Oats already has sorted a few things figured out.

The Crimson Tide lost in the Sweet 16 last season, then most of its roster. Oats had three returning players and replaced three assistants who left for head coaching jobs.

Playing fast and letting 3s fly from all over, Alabama led the nation in scoring during the regular season and has kept up the pace in March. Led by heady, gritty point guard Mark Sears, the Crimson Tide scored at least 89 points in three of four NCAA Tournament games, including 109 in the opener against Charleston.

Alabama reached its first Final Four by making 16 3-pointers in an 89-82 win over Clemson in the Elite Eight.

“Guys bought in — we can make this run, other teams have done it,” Oats said. “We have the capability to do it.”

The first national semifinal on Saturday will be big — as in more than 14 feet and 575 pounds of men in the paint.

Purdue has college basketball’s most unstoppable force in Edey.

At 7-4, he didn’t need a ladder to cut down the nets in Detroit and has the skill to go with his size. Edey was the AP national player of the year last year and the front-runner to become the first player to repeat since Virginia’s Ralph Sampson earned it three straight years from 1980-83.

Edey has been nearly unguardable in the NCAA Tournament, becoming the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor) in 1968 to have at least 50 points and 35 rebounds while shooting 65% from the field the first two games of an NCAA Tournament.

Edey topped that with a career-high 40 points and 16 rebounds in a 72-66 win over Tennessee that sent the Boilermakers to the Final Four a year after making history by losing to a No. 16 seed.

“Zach’s got a competitive fight to him. He doesn’t back down,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “When you have that elite physical size and you have that competitive spirit with it, with some skill, it’s pretty dangerous. He’s pretty hard to handle.”

So is N.C. State’s DJ Burns Jr.

The 6-9, 275-pounder has a big-sized game and a personality to go with it. He’s the focal point of the Wolfpack offense and opponents have yet to find a way to stop him.

Burns has great footwork, a soft touch and vision to find the open man nearly every time. Combined with the team’s other DJ , Arizona State transfer DJ Horne, N.C. State won five games in five days just to get into the NCAA Tournament and kept rolling into the Final Four as a No. 11 seed.

“DJ Burns has been around for a long time, but his personality, his play has really opened eyes of a lot of folks around the country,” N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts said.

Now the Wolfpack get to play in the game’s biggest spotlight with two other teams who ended long droughts — and a fourth vying for a place in history.
