Compatibility mode disables some features, so you can only use the commands that were available when you created the presentation. For example, if you open a presentation created in PowerPoint 2003, you can use the tabs and commands that were in PowerPoint 2003.

In the image below, the presentation is opened in compatibility mode. You can see that many of the commands on the Transitions tab are locked, with only those available in PowerPoint 2003.

To get out of compatibility mode, you need to change the presentation format to current version. However, if you work with people who work with more earlier versions PowerPoint, it is better to leave the presentation in Compatibility Mode and not change the format.
