<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "End User , Box Doc Gen , Article , Product Utilization , New"}} />

Box Doc Gen can dynamically generate PowerPoint presentations from a PPTX template, such as a sales and offering deck or a business performance review deck.

## Generating PowerPoint presentations using Box Doc Gen

Generate dynamic PowerPoint presentations in Box from a PPTX template, using data from your external systems or responses collected through Box Forms.

To generate documents from a PowerPoint template, follow these steps:

1. Create your Box Doc Gen PPTX template.
2. Add the template to Box in one of the following ways:
   * Upload the template to your preferred folder, select the ellipsis icon (…), and then select **Mark as Doc Gen template**.
   * Upload the template directly in Box Doc Gen: select **Automate** in the left sidebar, and then, on the **Doc Gen** tab, select **New** > **Doc Gen Template**.
3. Generate the document using the Box Doc Gen API, Box Relay workflows, or the Generate document UI.

<Note>
  To learn more about the tags you can use in a PPTX template, see [Supported PowerPoint features](/en/box-doc-gen/powerpoint-templates/supported-powerpoint-features).
