THE QUARTERLY SMARTART RITUAL, RETIRED
Every reorg, someone reopens the deck and drags SmartArt boxes for an afternoon. Import the slide once, edit the structure like data, and export the deck back out whenever a presentation needs it.
WHY DECKS FIGHT YOU
SmartArt stores boxes and lines, so every change is manual drawing: reflowing branches, re-centering levels, fixing the connector that snapped to the wrong shape. The reporting data — who answers to whom — lives only in your head while you drag.
An editor built on the reporting model inverts that: you change the manager, and the drawing follows. Views, search, undo, and exports all read from the same validated hierarchy.
IN FROM POWERPOINT
A PPTX with organization shapes becomes a reviewable draft: shape text, positions, and connectors are read into proposed roles and reporting lines that you inspect and correct before applying anything.

Official exports include a native, editable PowerPoint — alongside SVG, PNG, PDF, and CSV — so the next all-hands deck starts from your current structure instead of last quarter's drawing.

Slide layouts vary, so the conversion produces a draft for your review — not a promise of a perfect read. Ambiguous connectors surface as proposals you confirm or fix, and nothing replaces your chart until you apply the reviewed result. The import accepts one PPTX under the documented size bounds.
FILE HANDLING
Uploaded presentations are bounded and processed in request memory to build the draft; the current path does not persist slide files to storage. The draft itself stays on this device until you deliberately save it to a workspace.
