Microsoft released PowerPoint way back in 1990 to become one of the most used applications in the world. This is no surprise since it comes with many features to create presentations.

If you are a fan of using PowerPoint to create awesome presentations, now you have a new tool at your disposal. The new  Zoom feature will allow you to easily create interactive, non-linear presentations.

According to Microsoft, using Zoom during a presentation will allow you to go from any point in your presentation to any other in any order you want.

The Slide Zoom will allow you to make the presentation more dynamic, which means that you will be able to navigate without any problems between slides in any order you like.

On the other hand, Section Zoom will give you the freedom to go back to sections that you want to really focus on.
