PowerPoint for the web

If you want to reuse some of the slides in a read-only presentation, you can download a copy to your computer and make changes to the copy.

  1. On the File tab, select Create a copy. 

  2. Select Download a copy.

    The file is downloaded to your browser's download folder. 

Opening your copy

In Edge or Chrome, the file shows in the upper right corner as it's downloaded. When the file is ready, you'll see the Open option. Select Open to bring it up in PowerPoint for the web. 

If you don't see the open option, select the horizontal … or vertical ⋮ ellipsis and choose Downloads. Find the file and double-click to open. 

If you have a different browser, find the settings or app menu (usually in the upper corner of the browser) and find Downloads.
