You might find it useful to add information into a presentation slide footer. For example, if you printed the presentation, having it time-stamped could help you ensure that you have a copy of the most up-to-date version. The footer has three fields by default that can display the date and time, slide numbers, and any other information that you wish to display on each slide. The footer is hidden until you enter data into it, and it is usually positioned at the bottom of each slide.

If you select Fixed, you can enter the date and/or time however you wish, and it won't be updated unless you edit it.
