Yes, when you download the original file using the blue Download button on the preview page, all original presentation data, including presenter notes and hidden slides, are preserved.
Can I open the downloaded presentation without Microsoft Office?
Absolutely. You can open, edit, and present the downloaded .pptx file using free, lightweight alternatives like WPS Office, which offers full compatibility with Microsoft PowerPoint formats.
