Over time, PowerPoint learns from your experience using design ideas and offers you layout options at the appropriate time. Once you’ve turned on “connected experiences,” PowerPoint automatically shows you design ideas when you’re creating your slides. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on.

The first time you try out PowerPoint Designer, it may ask your permission to get design ideas for you.

Design Ideas is also on the far right of the Home tab in the ribbon.

Ask for design ideas any time by choosing Design > Design Ideas on the ribbon.

Quick Tip: To work with Design Ideas with text or image slides, it’s a good idea to first make a copy of the slide so you can experiment without losing the layout of the original slide. While you’re putting content on a slide, the Designer works in the background to match that content to professionally designed layouts.

It’s good to know that Designer and Design Ideas are only available with PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 and are only supported by presentations based on the PowerPoint blank template and a variety of other standard templates.

And, by using the suggested Design Ideas, you can save the hours of work you might spend to manually layout images and text. Or, you can take a boring basic title or bullet slide and quickly make it more visually interesting with just a few clicks. With the PowerPoint Design Ideas, simply add a photo to a slide, and the Designer will present multiple layouts and graphical options for your slides. And most importantly, you don’t need to have any design or art skills yourself. The PowerPoint Designer uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically generate a variety of Design Ideas for more appealing and compelling presentations. How can you create more compelling and attractive slides in PowerPoint? The answer is the PowerPoint Designer.
