## Editing a Presentation

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open or upload your presentation">
    If your presentation is already in the Data Room, it is ready to go. Otherwise, drag and drop a PPTX file into the Data Room.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tell Apers what to change">
    Type your edit request in the Chat box. For example: "Add a slide with the financial summary after slide 3" or "Update the title on the first slide."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the changes">
    Apers applies the edits to your Google Slides file. Click the file in the Data Room to preview, or open it in Google Slides.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Working with Uploaded PPTX Files

You can upload an existing PowerPoint file and Apers will read and modify it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your file">
    Drag and drop the PPTX file into the Data Room.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask Apers to read it">
    Apers processes the file and understands its content, structure, and layout.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request changes">
    Ask for any edits: "Add a new conclusion slide", "Fix the formatting on slide 5", or "Replace the revenue numbers with updated figures."
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Uploaded PPTX files are converted to Google Slides so Apers can edit them. You can export the result back to PPTX from Google Slides if needed.
</Info>

## Tips for Better Edits

* **Be specific about slide numbers** when targeting particular slides
* **Describe the layout you want** if you have a preference for how content is arranged
* **Reference your documents** to pull in updated data automatically

<Warning>
  Large presentations with complex animations or embedded media may not fully preserve all formatting during conversion.
