Why it matters: Checking the structure can reveal omissions before generating the material.

Reviewing the structure before the final output

The change adds a point for deciding what a presentation should communicate before producing it. Google explains that the process starts from notebook sources and lets you steer the focus. That step matters when the challenge is selecting and organizing the right information rather than formatting slides.

How it fits into a workflow

In the provider’s explanation, review lets you comment on the plan before proceeding with generation. The slide deck help page describes the service options. Check account requirements and limits there before planning work around the feature. We have not verified its availability for every account.

An example: presenting a project

Suppose your notes cover a project’s objective, budget and next tasks. Before requesting slides, check that the outline includes all three and puts them in an order that makes sense for the audience. If the budget is missing, correcting the plan first is clearer than discovering the omission in the finished deck. This is an editorial example, not a product demonstration.

What to verify in the finished material

Reviewing an outline does not establish that figures or conclusions are correct. Once you have the result, compare it with the sources and look for conditions left out. Match the amount of information to the time available as well. For details of the update and current instructions, follow the linked announcement and help pages.
