When you are finished modifying the handout master, what should you do?

When you finish modifying the handout master in PowerPoint, the appropriate next step is to return to normal view. The handout master allows you to set the layout, styles, and design for the handouts that will be printed or distributed, but once modifications are complete, you typically want to view your slides in the context of the full presentation.

Returning to normal view lets you see how your content fits with the overall design and ensures that any changes made in the handout master are properly applied to the handouts. This transition is essential for reviewing and preparing for further adjustments or final preparations before presenting or printing.

Other options such as saving, printing, or exporting are actions that are relevant at different points in workflow but do not directly follow the modification of the handout master. It's a standard practice to navigate back to normal view to assess your presentation in its entirety after making design adjustments.
