Large slideshows can be difficult to mange effectively in Powerpoint 2013, so you may have incorporated some organizational changes to fix that. One such change is the use of sections to more easily define the segments of your presentation. These are especially useful when the small slide thumbnails look very similar to one another, making it difficult to distinguish slides form one another.
