Object animations

Object animations are motion effects that can be applied to individual objects. They enable you to visually highlight important points and make your presentation more appealing.

Conveniently apply object animations directly via the buttons on the ribbon tab Animation (or via the sidebar). Alternatively, you can choose the path via the dialog box by right-clicking on an object to open the context menu and selecting the command Animations.

Both methods enable you to add new animations and edit or delete existing ones. Choose your preferred method from one of the following two sections:

Applying object animations via the ribbon tab "Animation"

This section explains how to add an animation to an object directly via the ribbon buttons (or via the sidebar), and how to edit and manage animations.

Applying object animations via the dialog box

In this section, you will learn how to add animations to an object and then edit and manage them via the dialog box.

This is followed by a detailed description of how you can adjust the properties of object animations, regardless of whether you have added animations via the ribbon tab or via the dialog box.
