Slide Publisher uses the following components:

AdaptiveWork app: Slide Publisher can be installed by an admin from the AdaptiveWork App Marketplace. This app includes a custom action that is enabled on the project level, and is used to publish the presentation using the template and AdaptiveWork data.
MS PowerPoint "Template Wizard" Add-On allows you to add placeholder tags to your template that are later replaced with real-time data from your AdaptiveWork account.
Install the add-on for free from the MS store or by manually downloading this Manifest XML file to your local PC and installing in MS.

To install from the MS Office Store:

In the PowerPoint application, open the Insert tab on the ribbon. Go to Office Add-ins or My add-Ins (on a Mac) > Store. This step may differ slightly depending on your version of MS PowerPoint.
Search for AdaptiveWork Slide Publisher. Click Add.
This will add a new button to your Insert tab.
