Layout Pattern
Appendix Index
Divider slide listing the backup and appendix sections that follow. Signals the main deck is over.
How to Use It
Appendix slides signal transition: the main argument is over, but here is the supporting detail. Use a simple layout: "Appendix" headline, and a numbered list of the sections in the appendix with slide numbers. Typical appendix contents: detailed data, methodology, glossary, references, alternative versions considered. Include this slide even for a short appendix - it gives audiences a map for Q&A references.
