Use the whole file

Your organization may provide a .pptx presentation as a starting point or a .potx PowerPoint template. Pickit downloads the stored file in its original format.

  1. Find your organization’s template in Pickit and open its preview.
  2. Choose Download for the presentation file to save it to your device.
  3. Open the downloaded file in PowerPoint and save your working presentation with a new name.

If you see Open or need individual slides

If Open is available, it can open the file in PowerPoint or take you to a linked source, depending on how the file is stored. Follow any browser prompt to open the application. Download gives you a local copy.

To reuse individual slides in a presentation you already have open, use Pickit inside PowerPoint and follow the slide insertion guide. The presentation’s Slides tab offers each prepared slide separately.

A downloaded presentation or inserted slide does not update automatically when the source in Pickit changes. Return to Pickit for the current version.
