How do you add a new slide in PowerPoint?

To add a new slide in PowerPoint, the most common and straightforward method is by clicking the "New Slide" button found on the "Home" tab. This button is part of the Slides group and provides easy access to the slide layout options. When selected, it allows you to add a blank slide or choose from various predefined layouts, ensuring you can structure your presentation effectively.

While there are other methods to add slides, such as inserting slides from the Insert menu or using keyboard shortcuts, the method through the Home tab is intuitive and readily accessible, making it the preferred choice for most users when in the process of building a presentation.
