Edit animation sequence

Reorder the animation steps on slide seven so the diagram labels appear after the arrows. Move the label animations from steps 1–3 to steps 4–6, set the arrows to play automatically in sequence at 0.3-second intervals, and set the labels to appear on click after the arrows finish. Verify the numbering reflects the new order before saving.

Before I send the deck to the science department, make the animation sequence easy to follow. Put the core explanatory movement first, compress any redundant steps, rename any grouped objects so their sequence is obvious, and flag where a reviewer might expect a different order. Surface any timing gaps that will confuse a reviewer doing a quick pass.

I was editing the sequence on slide seven and accidentally swapped the label animations with the arrow animations; when I preview it now the explanation appears out of order and confuses the teacher. The teacher leaves in 20 minutes and needs a correct sequence. I’m not sure which steps need swapping back and whether anything else will break. What is the most likely minimal fix I should do now to restore the correct explanatory order?

Every week I find myself fixing animation order across several lessons because content changes or teachers want different emphasis; this eats into prep time and causes mistakes. What systematic approach or naming convention for objects and sequences will reduce last-minute reordering and make animation edits faster and safer?
