Track changes in PowerPoint.
Track Changes
Track Changes Activate Track Changes before you send the presentation to your colleague. When it comes back you can you see all text-based changes to improve the process.
Activate Track changes before you send the file out and check all text-based changes when it comes back. With this information you can talk to your colleagues about the same topics and issues. With an activated tracker you can also easily look up the previous text. This is an easy way to restore your content when somebody else overwrote your original text.
