Edit PowerPoint when presenting

In older versions of Powerpoint I was able to edit the PowerPoint on my PC while I was in presenting mode thus showing the changes directly on the large screen. This does not seem to work in the newest version of Office365. Here I just get the presenter view on my PC telling which slide that comes next. Handy but not what I need this time. How should I do now?
