65-67: Avoid dangling reference to a missing screenshotThe note mentions “(like in the image below)” but no image is provided in the newly-added block. Either embed the screenshot immediately after the note or drop the reference altogether to prevent reader confusion.
68-71: Expand step wording for cross-platform clarityThe instructions currently assume a Mac (“command-click”). Consider adding the Windows/Linux equivalent (
Ctrl+click) to keep the doc universally applicable. Also, replace the typographic quotes (“ ”) with straight quotes (" ") for consistency with the rest of the page.Example diff:
-1. Right-click or command-click the PowerPoint file in your Google Drive. +1. Right-click (or Ctrl/⌘-click) the PowerPoint file in your Google Drive.

65-68: Improve accessibility & alt-text clarityThe current
altattribute is just a filename. Screen-reader users will not understand what the screenshot shows. Replace it with a short, descriptive phrase of what is visually conveyed.-<img width="580" alt="Screenshot_2025-06-20_at_7 03 33_PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/473a6f80-8288-40f6-9f5c-02af74e1d50f" /> +<img width="580" alt="Google Drive thumbnail displaying the .PPTX label on a presentation file" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/473a6f80-8288-40f6-9f5c-02af74e1d50f" />
69-73: Number the conversion steps consistentlyStep 3 (automatic save) is missing a list marker, which breaks Markdown rendering and can confuse readers. Consider folding the note into the numbered list and tightening wording.

65-70: Use consistent file-type terminology and tighten the step wording“PPT” and “PPTX” are used interchangeably, and the action wording is a bit loose. Unifying the extension and explicitly pointing to the exact menu path reduces ambiguity.
-1. Open the PPT in Google Slides. -2. Once the file opens, click File on the top toolbar and Save as Google Slides. +1. Open the **.PPTX** file in Google Slides. +2. In the opened file, choose **File → Save as Google Slides** from the top toolbar.
71-72: Add meaningful alt text for the screenshotThe current alt text is a timestamp, which provides no context for screen-reader users. Replace it with something descriptive.

77-79: Grammar & clarity fixes (“software”, spacing, extension casing)-1. For certificates created on canva or other softwares, export the designs as “ppt” and save it on your computer -2. Convert them to Google Slides format as described above(if they are still in ppt format). +1. For certificates designed in Canva or other software, export the design as a **.PPTX** file and save it to your computer. +2. Convert the presentation to Google Slides format as described above (if it is still in **.PPTX** format).This removes the uncountable “softwares”, capitalises “Canva”, adds the missing space before the parenthesis, and standardises on the .PPTX extension.

They should use the newly opened slide and not the old one. Should we specify this part?

65-66: Use Markdown call-outs for critical notesReaders often skim long docs. Converting this paragraph into a standard call-out (e.g.
> [!NOTE]) will make the “PPTX label” warning stand out and stay consistent with our other docs.
73-73: Grammar & clarity fix
save in your Google Drive→saved to your Google Drive, and tighten the second sentence.-The presentation will open in a new window and automatically save in your Google Drive as a Google Slides file. We need to use the new slide in the certificates. +The presentation opens in a new window and is automatically saved to your Google Drive as a Google Slides file. Use this new Google Slides version when generating certificates.
77-79: Minor wording improvements

- Add missing preposition “to”.

67-72: Screenshot should show the File ▸ Save as Google Slides optionThe text instructs users to pick Save as Google Slides, but the screenshot only shows the .PPTX badge. A single image that captures the File menu with the “Save as Google Slides” option would eliminate guess-work, addressing the feedback in earlier reviews.
