Hi @Lauren Moylan ,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
Can I make all pop-ups (animations) mandatory before they transition to the next slide?
< Yes, generally, when a presentation is showing, it will switch to the next slide after all the animations of the previous slide are completed.
For references:
Animate text or objects
Add, change, or remove transitions between slides
Hope the information is helpful to you.
