Hello Cierra,

I sincerely appreciate you for responding to us back.

To further troubleshoot this issue, I would recommend in trying the following steps:

1. Open the PowerPoint presentation on your iPad.
2. Tap on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
3. Tap on "Print" in the left-hand menu.
4. In the "Print" menu, select "Print Layout" and choose "Notes Pages" from the drop-down menu.
5. Tap on "Print" in the top right corner of the screen.

If you’re trying to print multiple slides with notes next to each slide and the print settings are not showing up, it could be due to a limitation of the PowerPoint for iPad app. The app may not support all the features available in the desktop version of PowerPoint however since you have confirmed it to be working before a PowerPoint update, please connect with our live support techs by following:

• Go to Contact - Microsoft Support
• From description box, type PowerPoint and click Get Help
• Scroll down and press Contact Support
• Choose Microsoft 365 and Office as product
• Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser or Call support
• Click Confirm

I trust that the information I have shared will be useful for you.

It worked before the new update by PowerPoint. The options eliminated 3 pages to a slide completely, I am only able to do so on my MacBook then airdrop to my iPad. I have just been using Keynotes instead. I restarted my iPad and checked for updates
