Answer reveal

Answer key (optional)

Answers are matched to question slides in order: the first question slide gets the first answer. If a slide already reveals its own answer, that reveal is kept and the key is used to double-check it.

Slide background

Recolour text for readabilityRewrites text colours to contrast with the new background. Text that already contrasts is left alone; decorative accent colours may be flattened.

Theme palette (recolours accent colours deck-wide: charts, SmartArt, themed shapes)

Worth knowing: the new background sits behind everything, but decorative shapes from the slide master can still appear on top, and heavily templated decks may need a manual once-over. Works best on clean decks.
