To change the sequence of an animation effect, you typically use an animation pane available in presentation software. This pane allows you to see and reorder the applied animations.
Here are the exact steps to change the order of an animation effect:
Steps to Reorder Animations
Follow these instructions to adjust the playback sequence of your animation effects:
- On the Animations tab, select Animation Pane. This action opens a sidebar listing all animation effects applied to your slide.
- Select the specific animation effect you want to move from the list in the Animation Pane.
- With the effect selected, click and hold, then drag it upward or downward to position it in the appropriate place within the list.
- As you drag, a thin, red horizontal line will appear, showing you exactly where you can place the effect in the list. Release the click once the line is in the desired position.
By moving the animation effects up or down in the Animation Pane list, you directly change the order in which they play during your presentation. Effects listed higher in the pane will play earlier.
This method provides a visual way to manage complex animation sequences on a single slide.
