PowerPoint has no toolbars other than the Quick Access Toolbar. Almost everyone who uses this toolbar just calls it theQAT, and that's the name we will use for the rest of this tutorial. The QAT's raison d'être is customization, and accessing all yourfavorite commands in one place. It's important to note that the QAT does not add new commands, it just places your favorite commands in one place.
In PowerPoint 365 for Mac, by default, the QAT can be found right above theRibbon tabs, as shown highlighted in bluewithin Figure 1. Also, the default commands you can find within QAT are File, Save, Undo, andRepeat. Do note that you cannot choose to move the QAT to below the Ribbon, as you can do within Windows versions of PowerPoint.
