Product Release Notes - August 29, 2025 - PowerPoint add-in, reporting updates & language support

This week brings improvements to streamline your presentation workflow, enhanced reporting options, and expanded language support. We've made it easier to integrate interactive elements into your PowerPoint presentations, introduced a new advanced reporting version for select users, and added four new languages to make AhaSlides more accessible worldwide.

PowerPoint Add-in Enhancement

Streamlined AhaSlides Integration

We've improved the PowerPoint add-in experience by eliminating the need to click "Start AhaSlides" for each new slide. This enhancement allows you to seamlessly integrate AhaSlides questions with your presentation content, creating a smoother workflow when building interactive presentations.

What's Changed:

  • Single Presentation Flow: No more clicking "Start AhaSlides" for every new interactive slide

  • Seamless Content Integration: Insert AhaSlides questions, polls, and emoji feedback anywhere within your existing presentation without breaking the flow

  • One QR Code: With this new update, you can add individual slides rather than adding multiple presentations, and your audience scans once and stays connected throughout the entire presentation

  • Enhanced Presenter Experience: Perfect for training sessions, conferences, and educational content where you want to maintain engagement across extensive material
