As you work on your slideshow, you can add comments to slides. For example, you could use comments to remind yourself of changes you want to make to the slide. Or you can use comments to communicate with others with whom you are collaborating in developing a presentation. (Comments are different from presenter notes; to learn about writing notes that you can use to prompt you during your presentation, see Adding Presenter Notes.)
Comments are always on top of the slide canvas, so they may obscure parts of your slide. Simply drag the comments out of the way, hide them, or resize them.
You can move comments anywhere on the slide canvas. If you have your own presenter display while making a presentation, you can see your comments but your audience can’t. However, during your presentation you won’t be able to hide, move, or resize comments that might obscure parts of your slide in the presenter display.
