// Reselects shapes that were saved previously.
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {
const slide1 = context.presentation.slides.getItem(savedSlideSelection[0]);
await context.sync();
slide1.setSelectedShapes(savedShapeSelection);
await context.sync();
});
...
// Selects the first two shapes on slide 1.
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {

await context.sync();
const slide1 = context.presentation.slides.getItemAt(0);

const shape1 = shapes.getItemAt(0);
const shape2 = shapes.getItemAt(1);
shape1.load("id");
shape2.load("id");
await context.sync();
slide1.setSelectedShapes([shape1.id, shape2.id]);
await context.sync();
});
toJSON()
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.Slide object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.SlideData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): PowerPoint.Interfaces.SlideData;Returns
