Improve PowerPoint export so that Bullets are not exported individually

Hi Gamma Team,
I hope you’re doing well! First off, I want to say how much I appreciate Gamma and the effort your team has put into creating such an amazing tool. It’s been a key part of my workflow, and I love how intuitive and impactful it is.
I’d like to suggest a feature enhancement related to how presentations are exported to PowerPoint. Currently, when exporting, the title, content, and bullet points are treated as separate elements in the PowerPoint file. While this works in most cases, it becomes quite time-consuming when I need to make significant edits—especially for formatting, resizing, or adjustments that affect multiple slides.
Here’s the challenge: because the text and elements are broken into separate pieces, I can’t easily select and modify the content of a slide in one go. Instead, I have to edit each line or bullet point individually, which takes extra time.
Would it be possible to adjust the PowerPoint export structure so that the slide content is grouped into a single editable element? For example:
The slide title would remain a separate element, but
All the body text (bullet points, paragraphs, etc.) could be grouped together as one block.
This change would make it much easier to modify exported slides directly in PowerPoint without losing the flexibility Gamma already provides. While I know I can make edits within Gamma itself, there are times (due to time constraints, formatting needs, or presentation-specific tweaks) when working directly in PowerPoint is necessary.
Let me know if this is something your team might consider, or if there’s any additional information I can provide to help clarify the request. I think this adjustment would save users like me a lot of time and make Gamma even more indispensable!
Thanks again for all your hard work and for building such a fantastic tool—I’m excited to see where Gamma goes next!
Best,
Fred

We deployed a change to group consecutive list items together in the same textbox (bullet / numbered) and also fixed the marker icons that are used to reflect what is shown in Gamma (when nested). Hope this improvement is helpful! Please ping us and/or open another issue if things still feel off or if you see any issues. Thanks for using Gamma!!

Hello,
I've been using Gamma for a while and really enjoy the features, but the biggest challenge has been with exporting to PPT. The main body text—(1) the text's font size is too small, and (2) content is coming in piece by piece (i.e., each bullet point or section of text is its own text box, so I have to resize and realign every set of font separately). Does Gamma have any plans to fix this in the near future? Thank you!

thanks Kevin. Shared this with the team. We're gonna devote some time to export quality this month!

Thanks for the feedback Fred Byron. This was really clear and specific (I wish all feedback was like this!).
I will pass this along to the team. I think it's definitely possible. I believe the reason it gets exported as separate locks has to do with the way that our editor treats content.
Best,
Nik
