The contents of the PowerPoint Export slides can be customized by creating a customized PowerPoint Export template file. When template changing is enabled in QPR Portal, the customized template can be taken into use there. It is also possible to customize the default template used for PowerPoint Export.

Each slide in the template file has to have a type tag in the notes of the slide, and for each slide type there are supported content tags that can be used in the slide itself.
