There could be several reasons why your PowerPoint design ideas aren’t showing up. To begin with, the Design Ideas feature is only available to Office 365 subscribers. If you’re using an older version of PowerPoint, you won’t have access to this feature.
Secondly, the Design Ideas feature requires an active internet connection. If you’re working offline, you won’t be able to use it. Make sure you’re connected to a stable internet connection and try again.
Another reason could be that your PowerPoint is currently operating in a mode that doesn’t support Design Ideas, such as Reading View or Slide Show View. Try switching to Normal View and see if the Design Ideas button becomes available.
It’s also possible that the Design Ideas feature has been disabled in your PowerPoint settings. To check this, go to “File” > “Options” > “General” > “PowerPoint Designer” and ensure that the “Automatically show me design ideas” option is checked.
Last but not least, the Design Ideas feature only works with certain types of content and layouts. If your slide content isn’t recognized by the Design Ideas tool, it may not suggest any designs. Try adding more content to your slide or changing the layout and see if that helps.
