In PowerPoint's Slide Master view, any changes you make to the slide master will automatically apply to all slides based on that master, ensuring consistency throughout your presentation. However, most of your modifications will likely be focused on the layout masters associated with the slide master.

The advantage of making changes in Slide Master view is that it safeguards your work from accidental deletions or edits by others who are working in Normal view. Conversely, if you encounter restrictions while editing elements on a slide in Normal view, such as being unable to remove a picture, it's probable that the element is defined on the slide master or a layout master. In such cases, switching to Slide Master view will allow you to edit that particular element efficiently. Mastering Slide Master view empowers you to customize and maintain a polished and consistent design across your entire presentation.
