What is a slicer?

Slicers are another way of filtering. They narrow the portion of the dataset that is shown in the other report visualizations. For example a slicer could show you the key outputs (KPIs etc) easily filtered by your relevant categories. For example such as Cities, Months, Client, Brands, Product categories...

For more details on slicers visit this Microsoft article about Power BI slicers.

Which slicer types can be edited in PowerPoint/Word with UpSlide?

You can edit Single Value, Multiple Value and Time-interval slicers using UpSlide directly in PowerPoint or Word when updating your exported Power BI visuals.
