Make your points pop with Animated Icons

Icons are a great way to replace bullet points on a slide. Animated icons are even better. Adding subtle animation to icons can help draw your audience’s attention to the point you are speaking about and also help elevate the point you are trying to make. With CustomShow, you can incorporate animated icons on your slide, and use Builds to define exactly when they appear and play.
