Was updated on January 12th, 2016. One of the great, new features that they’ve brought into this update is the Selection Pane in PowerPoint! Moving from Windows to Mac, it was hard for me, at first, to not have this feature to help build my PowerPoint slides. Along the past few months, I’ve found myself regularly missing it.
From the menu of slides on the left of the PowerPoint window, select the slide in which you plan to work. Place your objects on the slide where you need them to appear and size them appropriately. In this example, we’re using location pins as the images we want to animate. Click on the object you want to hide before its animation. Jun 27, 2008 Select the slide(s) in the slide navigator or light table view, and then choose Slide > Skip Slide. Control-click the slide and choose Skip Slide. To make a skipped slide visible in a slideshow, select it and then choose Slide > Don’t Skip Slide (or Control-click the slide and choose Don’t Skip Slide).
With the, you can now:. Rename objects and object groups. View object hierarchies in groups. Easily change the Z-order of objects, by dragging items up or down in the list. Toggle visibility of objects, when making edits to complex slides. View the updated object names in the Animation Pane This improvement makes it significantly easier to work with complex slides, that have lots of animations! The Windows version of PowerPoint has had the Selection Pane for quite some time.
On the Mac version, the only work-around for renaming objects, and changing other attributes, has been to write macros. In fact, I wrote one such macro last week, at great cost to my time. Furthermore, the macro editor experience has been reduced to almost nothing, amid many complaints from the community. Hence, we are kind of at Microsoft’s mercy to add new features at this point.
How do I access the Selection Pane? To access the Selection Pane in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, go to the Home tab, and then choose Arrange – Selection Pane (all the way at the bottom).

How do I rename PowerPoint objects? Double-click the object name in the Selection Pane, and type the new object name.
How do I change the Z-order of objects? Drag-and-drop the objects vertically, in the desired order. The top-most object in the list is the top-most object on the slide, and will cover and “lower” objects. How do I toggle visibility of objects in the Selection Pane? Click the “eye” button next to each object that you want to hide. The icon will change to a dash, which indicates that it is hidden.
Click the dash to make it visible again. Here’s an animated GIF that demonstrates renaming an object, and toggling visibility of objects and object groups. I’m really excited that Microsoft has added this feature into PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, and I’m looking forward to the other improvements that they make to Office 2016 for Mac as a whole!,.

Hiding slides is particularly useful when you have added slides to a presentation that provide different levels of detail on the subject matter, perhaps for different audiences.
You can mark these slides as hidden so that they are not displayed in your main slide show, but you can still access them if you need to. For example, a member of your audience might ask you to explain an item in more detail. In that case, you can reveal the hidden slides that contain those details. However, if time is short and the audience is comprehending the concepts that you are delivering, you may want to keep the slides with the supplementary information hidden so that you can continue your presentation without visibly skipping over slides.
