[PowerPoint javascript API] Add background refresh or async update to images imported on the slides
With the current Office js API capabilities, to replace an image imported to the PowerPoint slide, it is required to navigate to the slide containing given image, then remove old image and insert new one. This behaviour interrupts user's workflow as he cannot perform any other action on different slide while refresh is in progress.
Would it be possible to modify API so that replacing an image could be performed in the background without the need of changing active slide?
use case: Using our add-in, user is able to refresh multiple images at once to import newest data, with the current Office js API capabilities, user needs to wait for the refresh operation to end as with each image refresh, active slide would be changed accordingly to the one containing image that will be replaced. This behaviour generates unnecessary waiting time and significantly decreases user performance as refreshing multiple images may take up to few minutes.
