Horizontal Accordion PowerPoint Template is a creative and professional step template for guiding presentations through numbered topics. Each topic is hidden inside the accordion; when the slide turns, the bookmark moves to the left, and the topic is presented. Ideal for lectures of any kind or any educational content, the Horizontal Accordion PowerPoint Template will impress your audience.
Every shape and text is created with PowerPoint objects, allowing the user to fully customize the accordion, adding or deleting steps.
Alternatively, you can download other tabbed-menu templates for PowerPoint & Google Slides, including templates with tabs that you can customize for your presentations.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How should a presenter use the accordion layout to keep a six-part explanation clear?
A: Treat each tab as one self-contained idea and repeat the same speaking rhythm on every slide: name the step, explain the main point, then connect it to the next tab. Because the active tab shifts across the accordion, the audience can track progress without rereading a dense agenda or losing the current topic.
Q: Who is this template best suited for in a business or learning presentation?
A: This template fits trainers, instructors, consultants, and team leads who need to explain a controlled sequence rather than compare many alternatives. The six numbered tabs work well for course modules, onboarding steps, workshop topics, service phases, or feature groups where each section needs its own focused text panel.
Q: Why does the accordion metaphor work for step-by-step communication?
A: The accordion metaphor shows one topic opened while the others remain visible but compressed. That design supports attention management: the open white panel gives enough room for explanation, while the colored side tabs remind the audience where the current step sits in the full six-part structure.
