Note With this option selected, the animated (animate: To add a special visual or sound effect to text or an object. For example, you can have your text bullet points fly in from the left, one word at a time, or hear the sound of applause when a picture is uncovered.) item will return to its original state after the animation plays. For instance, if you apply the Fly out effect, the item will fly out, but then will reappear on the slide in its original location.
