## Pro Tips

<Tip>
  **Be conversational**: ChatPPT understands natural language. You don't need to use special syntax or commands.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Iterate gradually**: Make one change at a time for better control and easier undo if needed.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Reference elements**: Use "the title", "the first bullet", "the image" to specify what to modify.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  ChatPPT works on the currently selected slide. Make sure you have the right slide selected before giving commands.
</Warning>

## Example Workflow

1. **Create base slide**
   ```
   "Create a slide titled 'Our Services' with three columns"
   ```

2. **Add content**
   ```
   "Add 'Consulting' in the first column with a brief description"
   ```

3. **Enhance design**
   ```
   "Make the title bold and blue"
   ```

4. **Final touches**
   ```
   "Add icons above each column heading"
   ```

## Troubleshooting

If ChatPPT doesn't understand:

* Rephrase your request more clearly
* Break complex requests into smaller steps
* Be specific about what element you're referring to
