Adding zoom areas
Zoom areas help you draw the learner’s attention to important sections of a slide. For example, if
you create a simulation that includes a step that might be easily overlooked, you can add a zoom
area to highlight the step. Zoom areas consist of the area you want to highlight and the zoom
destination, which shows the enlarged view. After you add a zoom area, you can add timing,
transition, and audio options to the zoom effect.
