PowerPoint API handling PPT sections

I followed along the exmaple from Rahul: How to add sections to PowerPoint with MATLAB Report Generator - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)
But came to a different conclusion.
Upon inserting a new slide at index 2, that slide becomes the header of section 2, instead of a content slide for section1.
How can I insert slides into specific sections on a powerpoint? Currently, the slide just replace the last header of section2 when inserted into section1.
Dummy1.pptx

NewTest.pptx

CODE
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Without below code would have: "mlreportgen.ppt.Presentation"
import mlreportgen.ppt.*;
% %-------------------------------------------------------------------------
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Create Histogrm
x = randn(10000,1);
h = histogram(x);
saveas(gcf,'myPlot_img.png');
plot1 = Picture('myPlot_img.png');
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
% to open again and then add a slide
ppt = Presentation('NewTest.pptx','Dummy1.pptx');
open(ppt);
x =1;
newSlide = outputPPT(ppt,x,plot1);
close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);
function Return = outputPPT(ppt,x,plot1)
import mlreportgen.ppt.*;
newSlide = add(ppt,'Picture with Caption',x+1);
replace(newSlide,'Title 1','Histogram of Vector');
replace(newSlide,'Picture Placeholder 2',plot1);
newSlide = add(ppt,'Picture with Caption',x+3);
Return = newSlide;
end
END

Hi Andreas,
As per my understanding, you want to add slides to a specific section using “mlreportgen.ppt.*”. Currently the API does not support the functionality. The responsible teams are already working on the feature.
