File Types, File Menu, and Backstage View: Connected Services in PowerPoint

Microsoft releases new features for Office users all the time. Yet, there are some features that will not be made available even to any perpetual version, and these are features that use some sort of connection with Microsoft Office’s intelligent services technology. These features are called Connected experiences and are responsible for experiences that may analyze your content and download online content to make your slides appear richer—and are only available to Microsoft 365 subscribers.
