Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat ppt set-notes --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
