Interacting with SharePoint PowerPoint document through add-in/dialog box

Question

We have created add-in to indirectly update content of SharePoint ppt document.

Now we can see presentation content can be directly modified by chatgpt add-in.

We have similar requirement where in data enter in dialog box should reflect immediately in slide.

While exploring the documentation got to know "Do not use a dialog box to interact with a document. Use a task pane instead. ".

Please help us with info any other way to interact with document and update the content of it from dialog.

Hi @Dudekula,Amitabh,

The recommended way to interact with a PowerPoint document from an add-in is to use a task pane instead of a dialog box. However, if you still want to use a dialog box, you can use the Office dialog API to open a dialog box from your add-in. The dialog box can be used to collect input from the user, which can then be used to update the content of the PowerPoint document.

To use the Office dialog API in your add-in, you can refer to the following Microsoft documentation: Use the Office dialog API in Office Add-ins.
