Most of the time, you may work on a single slide in your PowerPoint presentation, but there are times when you want to copy, duplicate, reorder, or even delete a bunch of slides. It’s in scenarios like these that you will encounter PowerPoint’s Slide Sorter view. Although Slide Sorter view does not let you edit individual slide objects, it does let you work with the whole slide itself. Any edits made will influence one or more slides, depending on your selection.

Even though both text boxes and text placeholders are basically text containers, they are not one and the same. Text placeholders come as a part of some of the default Slide Layouts, whereas text boxes can be inserted wherever you need them on your PowerPoint slides.
