Windows 10: Powerpoint - Highligher tool outside of presentation mode

Hello all, as title says. I'm trying to find a way to use the highlighter tool or highlighter pen that you can activate in presentation mode as an actual tool in edition mode. Apparently it's possible to do so, or at least it was because we have some presentations that were made using it. Just to be clear here, this is not the highlight text tool that I'm talking about. That doesn't work on images and that's where we need it to work. Drawing shapes just takes far longer than just doing the highlights, especially since I'd have to set the shape settings every time. Office 365, latest version. Any clues?

Assigned Access of Powerpoint Presentation

I was hoping that by downloading the PowerPoint Mobile app in windows store, that I would be able to use it to setup assigned access on a Windows 10 computer and display a powerpoint presentation. Our issues is, we need this to be a Kiosk that no-one can
close out the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to turn most functions off, but you can still access the ease of access toolbar, and can also close the presentation out. When I go to assigned access though, Powerpoint Mobile does not appear in the list of
Apps. I have downloaded other Supposed PowerPoint Presenters, but none of them show up in the list either.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this! I do not understand how to setup the Power Shell code to set this up, too technical for me. But I really need this as Kiosk computer. Any suggestion?
