You can also easily add new cloud-based services. You'll be able to see at a glance which is which. This is quite helpful if you use a cloud service with more than one account, such as if you have one OneDrive account for personal use and another one for business.

There’s a very useful change in what Microsoft calls the backstage area that appears when you click File on the Ribbon: If you click Open, Save a Copy, Save or Save As from the menu on the left, you can see the cloud-based services you've connected to your Office account, such as SharePoint and OneDrive. You can change PowerPoint’s red title bar to gray, white, or (in Office 2019) black.

To make the title bar red again, instead choose the "Colorful" option from the drop-down list. In the "Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office" section, click the down arrow next to Office Theme, and select Dark Gray or White (or Black) from the drop-down menu. (In PowerPoint 2019, there’s also a black option.) To do it, select File > Options > General.

But it still works in the same way, and you'll find most of the commands in the same locations as in PowerPoint 2013. The newer Ribbon is smaller than it was in PowerPoint 2013, the title bar is red rather than white, and the text for the Ribbon tabs (File, Home, Insert and so on) is a mix of upper- and lowercase rather than all caps.
