📌 Why this matters
Linking or adding documents directly into your slides transforms static presentations into dynamic resources. Instead of switching between multiple files or losing track of supporting materials, you create a seamless flow where every reference is instantly accessible. This becomes especially powerful during live presentations when stakeholders ask detailed questions—you can immediately pull up the full document without breaking your rhythm. Your slides essentially become a master dashboard, connecting all related materials while keeping your audience engaged and your content organized in one central location.
