.potm file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .potm file is a macro-enabled PowerPoint template that combines the reusable layout and formatting of a standard template with embedded VBA macros. It allows organizations to distribute presentation templates that include automated functionality — such as auto-populating fields or enforcing formatting rules — while maintaining a consistent visual identity. Like .pptm files, .potm files should be handled carefully due to their macro capabilities.

LIZ AI goes beyond templates. It doesn't just apply a layout — it keeps every presentation up to date, brand-compliant, and populated with live data from your connected enterprise systems.
