The Presentations activities package helps you automate tasks you perform in presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint.

We no longer support classic activities on Legacy projects starting with version 2.0.0. You can still use classic activities in versions prior to 2.0.0. For more details, check the [Upcoming removals](https://docs.uipath.com/overview/other/latest/overview/deprecation-timeline#upcoming-removals) page.

:::note
* All activities under the **App Integration** category can only be used within the [Use PowerPoint Presentation](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/power-point-application-card) activity, while the others in the **System** category can be used without it.
* The activities in the first category open the PowerPoint application while processing the given details, while the latter does the execution in the background.
:::
:::note
The **UiPath.Presentations.Activities** pack is compatible with the following **Microsoft PowerPoint** versions:
* 2013
* 2016
* 2019
* Office 365
* Office 2024
:::

Indicate the presentation to work with by adding it to a [Use PowerPoint Presentation](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/power-point-application-card) activity, and then add activities inside it to automate adding text, media, and files, replacing content, executing macros, or saving the file with a different name or format.

When you configure PowerPoint activities, you can browse the contents of the file and select PowerPoint data that matches the type of a property, such as slides, shapes, and layouts directly from the **Plus** menu of each property. In the Studio profile, this functionality is available starting with Studio v2021.10 and UiPath.Presentations.Activities v1.2.0.

If the file you want to automate does not exist yet, you can still use the options in the **Plus** menu by defining a file with the same structure as a template in the **Use PowerPoint Presentation** activity.

You can also indicate layouts, placeholders (shapes), slide masters, and macros using their name, and indicate slides using their number. To find out the name of the shapes in a presentation, in PowerPoint go to **Home**, then select **Arrange**, and then **Selection Pane**.
