How to build a hyperlinked menu in PowerPoint
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 8:29 am
Why should you use a hyperlinked menu?
Adding hyperlinks to your agenda or menu slide not only allows you to jump seamlessly to relevant content, there’s also the added bonus of being able to give your audience a flavour of everything you can offer before personalising the content for them. For example, you can give everyone in the room a peek at the full suite of services or products you provide, before moving on to the solution tailored specifically to them.
If the audience can access the file themselves, for example in a kiosk-style deck, hyperlinks are a great way of adding interactivity to your content (for more tips and tricks have a look at this blog post on adding interactivity in PowerPoint). Having a hyperlinked homepage gives your audience the power to determine their own user journey by enabling them to access the content that they want to explore. Being able to go back to remind themselves of sections they’ve already passed, or skip the parts that are irrelevant to them means they’ll be much more engaged than if they had to scroll through everything.

Once all your sections are in the order you want them to be and you’ve designed your menu, it’s time to add in the links. We recommend that add your links in last because it avoids the risk of getting your navigation tangled up as you make changes and stops you from linking to deleted slides by mistake.
Step 2: Inserting the hyperlinks

To add a link to any object in PowerPoint, simply right-click and select Link, or use the shortcut Ctrl/Command+K. The pop-up window that follows will give you some options of where you can link to.
