Previewing your presentation
You’ll want to preview your presentation before giving it in front of a live audience. There are many ways to do this. You can choose to view the entire presentation or check out the slides from the current slide onward. You can also use Slide Sorter view to get a bird’s-eye view of your slides and rearrange them as you like.

If you want to display the entire slide show, in the Start Slide Show group, tap From Beginning.
