I have an Office 365 subscription and I am an Office Insider, therefore I was expecting to be able to import SVG files into Powerpoint 2016. However, when I do this, it says "An error occurred while importing this file." Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Graham,
Thank you for expressing your concerns about ungrouping SVG. We understand that is a blocking feature that will prevent users from switching to SVG from EMF/WMF. We hear your concerns and will consider this for the future.
Thank you!
