What can you do with it?

Microsoft PowerPoint allows you to manage presentations programmatically through the Microsoft Graph API. You can list PowerPoint files in your OneDrive, download presentations for viewing or editing, upload new or updated presentations, create temporary shareable links, and retrieve slide thumbnails. This integration is perfect for presentation management, automated sharing, and content organization workflows. Note that direct slide manipulation requires downloading, editing locally, and re-uploading.

Notes

PowerPoint files use the MIME type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation. There is no direct API for manipulating individual slides or shapes - presentations must be downloaded, edited locally, and re-uploaded. Files open in desktop PowerPoint may be locked for editing via the API. Proper permissions (Files.ReadWrite or Files.Read) are required in Azure AD. The Paragon proxy is not supported for PowerPoint operations.
