Which step is required to display the notes pane in PowerPoint?

To display the notes pane in PowerPoint, clicking the notes button on the status bar is the necessary action. The status bar is located at the bottom of the PowerPoint window and contains various options for quick access to different features, one of which includes the notes pane. By clicking this button, the notes pane will appear at the bottom of the slide view, allowing users to add or edit speaker notes that can be referenced during a presentation.

Utilizing the view tab, switch to slide sorter view, or clicking the insert tab are not directly related to the visibility of the notes pane. The view tab provides options for changing how slides are displayed but does not specifically toggle the notes pane. Slide sorter view is designed for managing multiple slides and does not include the functionality to show the notes pane. The insert tab deals with adding elements like images and text boxes to slides rather than controlling the display of notes.
