Many presentation elements built into the slide shows, such as slide transitions and animations, will play back on the device. If the presentation is set up as a timed slide show, one slide automatically advances to the next. Links to URLs are also supported.

Tapping Next or Previous may play an animation on a slide rather than navigate to another slide.
