Enhanced Powerpoint Support
As much as we all hate to admit it, Powerpoint is still the defacto presentation tool, and it does provide some powerful diagramming tools that would be difficult to replicate.
I hate having to copy Aha views into Powerpoint, and the reverse isn't much better, copying individual PP slides as images into Aha notes. I want Aha to be the single source for all diagrams and not have them immediately obsolete. I want them to evolve like everything else in Aha and have their destination notebooks automatically update - one of the most compelling features of Aha overall.
I'd like to be able to add a slide from Powerpoint to a note/notebook and have it render natively. If I could edit that slide directly inside Aha, that'd be a dream.
Maybe? Integrate with Office 365, so you could grab Powerpoint slides from it, and if they change, update them on a refresh?

ADMIN RESPONSEOct 1, 2024
We have added a new option for exporting Aha! views from your presentations into a PowerPoint file.
This is helpful if you have a set of Aha! views that you need to quickly have updated and moved to PowerPoint.
Simply create your presentation and set the update settings for each view. Whenever you need the latest views in PowerPoint, click the Export icon and choose Export Aha! views to .ppt. This will create a PowerPoint slide with a PNG for each view in your presentation.
We will keep this idea open to track feedback about an integration with PowerPoint.

Improved PPT/Excel integration
It would be great to be able to attach a ppt file and have the ability to edit it within Aha (not download). Then having the ability to take each page of the PPT and export it as a note page. Or at the least send the PPT slides to the notebook. Th...

AFAIK, a link needs to be configured in the MS Web Viewer add-in in PowerPoint 2019 in this format:
"presenter.ahaslides.com/presentation/{presentation-id}"
If not, where can the link for the presenter be found?
Hiding the headers & footers (by adding "?header=false&footer=false" to the URL) does not have any effect.
How can this be resolved?
The MS Web Viewer add-in in PowerPoint 2019 does not seem to store (login) cookies and Aha does not offer a "remember me"-login option (idea?). So, the presenter needs to login, during the presentation (in the presence of the audience). How can this be resolved?
The proffered solution is not feasible. Microsoft Web Viewer for PowerPoint—its bugginess and unreliability notwithstanding—is not installed by default. The typical corporate user (like me) cannot install software locally, including Office plugins. I just had to submit a support ticket to the IT helpdesk to see if they'll grant me an exemption, but I am not optimistic.
As it stands, this is insufficient and the advantages of the dynamic nature of the roadmap cannot be realized in presentations. It is not, nor will it ever be, tenable to design and run major presentations through Aha! itself.
Troy its interesting too as our company goes to MS Teams and loosing the ability to copy whole slides I definity see an opportunity for Aha to drive more presentations but without the ability to quickly copy over PPT files/slides/etc. no one will adopt.
Although Mockup is useful...I don't see it as the answer that will allow our PMs to work from within Aha!. They need more power in the "WIKI" or the ability to import slides of PPTs. If importing slides of PPTs...they need to be able to easily edit the file without having to download and re-upload. See my note about box integration:https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-5593
