You want to automatically advance slides with narration and animations during a presentation. Which MS PowerPoint feature should you use to achieve this?
Rehearse Timings
The task is to make a presentation run hands-free — each slide advancing on its own at the right moment, in step with the narration and animations. PowerPoint stores a per-slide advance time for exactly this purpose, and the tool used to record those times is Rehearse Timings, found on the Slide Show tab.
How Rehearse Timings works:
- It launches the slideshow in a special practice mode with a small timing toolbar.
- As you speak and trigger animations, it silently records how long you spend on each slide and on each animation step.
- When you finish, PowerPoint asks whether to keep the recorded timings and applies them to the slides.
- During the real presentation, the slides then advance automatically at those saved intervals, staying synchronised with the narration and animation sequence — no clicking required.
Why the other choices do not achieve automatic advancement:
- The view that shows slide thumbnails side by side is only for reordering, adding, or deleting slides; it does not record or control timing.
- The clickable navigation shapes are meant for interactive, user-driven jumps between slides (e.g., a menu button), which is the opposite of automatic timed progression.
- The dual-monitor speaker mode simply displays your notes, a timer, and next-slide preview to you while the audience sees the slideshow; it still relies on you to advance, and it does not create the timings themselves.
Hence Rehearse Timings is the correct feature.
