A host wants each agenda item presented as the next thing to do. The source already contains the item names, so the useful operation is walking through those values in order and attaching a short cue to each one.
The finished agenda contains Next: Welcome, Next: Demo, and Next: Questions in the same order as the input. There is no need to manage an index to get these labels. The values themselves are the useful material, so for of expresses the task more directly than a numeric loop that repeatedly looks up an array position.

Build the working example
const data = ["Welcome","Demo","Questions"];
const result = (()=>{if(!Array.isArray(data))return 'Enter an agenda array';const result=[];for(const item of data){result.push('Next: '+String(item));}return result;})();
console.log(result);
For of retrieves each iterable value rather than an index. The loop converts the current item into a display string and adds it to a separate result array. The three supplied agenda entries retain their order, and the original array stays unchanged.
On each pass, item receives the next agenda value. String converts that value into display text, and the new label is pushed into result. The loop does not replace or reorder the original items. This differs from for in, which walks property names rather than array values. It also differs from the earlier array map lesson: map builds a transformed array as an expression, while for of gives you a loop body where several operations or an early exit can fit naturally when the task needs them.
The original input returns:
[
"Next: Welcome",
"Next: Demo",
"Next: Questions"
]

Test the boundary that matters
Edit the array to add a final Wrap up item. After updating, the new label should appear after Questions. Remove all entries and the result should be an empty array, with no invented Next message. An empty object is not an agenda array, so the validation message should appear instead. Although JavaScript can iterate strings with for of, this function intentionally accepts only arrays because the interface is reviewing a list of agenda items, not a sequence of characters.

Plain objects are not iterable by default, so for of cannot directly visit an arbitrary settings object. Use object entries when both property names and values matter.
If the complete page stops before producing a result, compare it with the checks in HTML JavaScript not working.
Make one useful change
Insert a fourth agenda item and check its position. Test an empty array and confirm it produces an empty result instead of a placeholder item.
The exercise adds a fourth item and checks its position. Use Welcome, Demo, Questions, and Wrap up as the input and expect four labels in that order. To extend the example, keep the same loop and add an item counter only if the visible agenda actually needs numbering. For mixed data, replace the String conversion with an explicit item shape check before showing fields such as title and duration.
A meeting host can now review the flow by editing the actual agenda values, rather than tracing an index through a script. Share this runnable agenda preview using NOS and ask the host to try the intended final sequence. If they want an early stopping rule or optional items, that requirement can be expressed in the loop body without changing what for of means.
For the exact syntax and behavior, see MDN: for of.
