Why are my PowerPoint design ideas not showing up and how can I fix this issue?

A person uses a stylus to interact with floating digital checklists on a screen in front of a laptop. The scene suggests a task management or productivity application, similar to organizing slides for a PowerPoint presentation, with a focus on organization and technology.

If your PowerPoint Design Ideas are not showing up, here are some possible reasons and solutions:

1. Internet Connection:

  • Solution: Ensure you have a stable internet connection as Design Ideas require online access.

2. Version Compatibility:

  • Solution: Verify that you are using Office 365 or a version of PowerPoint that supports Design Ideas.

3. Feature Enablement:

  • Solution: Go to “File” > “Options” > “General” and make sure “Automatically show me design ideas” is checked.

4. Content Type:

  • Solution: Design Ideas work best with text and images. Ensure your slides contain these elements.

5. Simplify Slides:

  • Solution: Simplify complex slides to enable PowerPoint to generate suggestions.
