A PowerPoint appendix is a separate page, or pages, at the end of a presentation which contains supporting information that won't fit neatly on a slide, such as tables and graphs. Adding hyperlinks to the appendix helps you navigate to and from the appendix to the relevant place in the slide.

Insert a title and content slide at the end of the presentation. Click the "Home" tab, then click "New Slide" and then click "Title and Content."

Navigate to the slide to which you just hyperlinked. To navigate to the relevant slide, click on it in the left-hand column in edit mode.

Add a hyperlink to the appendix from that slide. Highlight the information on the slide, click "Insert," then click "Hyperlink." Click "Place in this slide," then click "Appendix." This inserts a link back to the appendix so you can switch between the appendix and the relevant slide.

The hyperlinks will not work in edit mode. To test the links, click "Slide Show," then click "From Beginning." Press "Ctrl," then click on a hyperlink to use it.
