Track changes support
You have got to add track changes to powerpoint and Word. I can't use Sharepoint wihtout these capabilities with my team
6 votesWe have started adding the capability to see who changed what in PowerPoint Online. When you return to a document where collaborators made changes while you were away, you will see a notification as well as some details about what changed. For additional history, you can try the Version History feature under File>Info>Version History. Let us know if this helps!

Create a color blind viewing tool
Be able to see what people who suffer from color blindness see when presenting to them. For example, my friend cannot tell the difference between blues and greens. I would like to specify the colors someone struggles to differentiate and "see" the presentation how they see it.
2 votesHello,
Thank you for submitting this suggestion. We at PowerPoint strive to be inclusive of all users. As such, we have a few options to help your friend. First, high-contrast mode. Your friend can use the high-contrast settings in Windows to help him or her see everything better. Then he or she can use PowerPoint Online on Edge to see all the slides in high-contrast. In addition, when you or your colleagues are making presentations, you can take steps to ensure that the content is friendlier to those with color vision challenges. To do this, go to Review>Check Accessibility. This tool will give you guidance as to how to ensure your content is usable for people of all abilities.

retrieve changes made by other people despite how long ago it was.
when multiple work on the presentation its easy to miss things and easily delete things. it will be good to be able to go back and retrieve things from previous saves so work doesn't get lost.
1 voteNow you can view the history of your file by going to File>Info>Version History. To retrieve content from the file, you can save a copy of an older version and retrieve the content from the older version. Hope that helps. Thanks for using PowerPoint!

Copying and pasting cells within tables can be improved
When using a table within a slide, when selecting several cells, copying them and pasting on another cells, all the original cells get pasted as text in a single cell. It should be pasted on every cell as before.

Show Collaborator's Edits in PowerPoint
I wish that on shared powerpoint we can see who did what or a history showing other group members editing the powerpoint. I wish we can see who contributed to the powerpoint and makes it easier for us to communicate better if we know who's doing what. Google slides have it and I am not sure if Microsoft Powerpoint has it.
16 votesYou can now view edits from your collaborators from Version History in PowerPoint Online on SharePoint and OneDrive for Business. To find the feature, go to File>Info>Version History. Let us know what you think.

Add more SmartArts
One day I wanted to make my own family tree using SmartArt, but I couldn't add anymore boxes with lines to show who was related to who. I would also like if you could add a title (that you can delete) along with the text, so I could say the person's name and in the text, I could put their information in it (birth, education, relation to me, etc.).
