You can use Canvas embeds in your PowerPoint presentations. These embeds will stay up to date with the latest data and any changes you make to the embed in Canvas.

Since PowerPoint cannot perform authentication, embedding in PowerPoint requires that your embed be public. If your data needs to be private then you should not use PowerPoint embeds.

First follow the steps in Public Embeds. Make note of your Canvas ID.

Second, install the PowerPoint add-in.

Next select the add-in to add a web page to your PowerPoint.

In the URL enter embed.canvasapp.com/?canvas_id=[your_canvas_id]using your Canvas ID from Step 1.

Your canvas will now be in your PowerPoint slide and remain up to date with the latest data.
