PowerPoint - Turn off Design Ideas

Every time I paste a screen shot or anything into PowerPoint (the 365 version, June 2020) a pane appears to the right titled Design Ideas.

PowerPoint Design Ideas pane

This Design Ideas pane might be of some use but so far it has just been very annoying. It takes up space on the screen, especially when I'm working on a laptop. I don't need this distraction. 


Turn off Design Ideas
The following explains how to switch it off for good:

Click File | Options | General 


Click to disable Automatically show me design ideas

Click OK

If by any chance you do want an design idea from PowerPoint, you can click Design | Design Ideas (right most button on the Design menu).
