Review presentations in PowerPoint 2016

Before submitting a presentation, users can ask others to review the presentation and give feedback on the slides. The presentation creator can even work with a collaborator to create a presentation together. If you are modifying a hard copy, users can add comments to the margins or compare raw and final drafts side by side. Besides, users can do these in PowerPoint 2016 with the Comments and Compare features.

How to review the presentation

    When modifying or collaborating on a presentation, users may want to make notes or suggestions without actually changing the slide. Leaving a comment allows the reader to note something without changing the slide. Comments can be added and read by the original author or any other reviewer.

    Compare presentations

    There are situations where users have multiple versions of the same presentation. For example, users who can create multiple drafts or collaborators or colleagues can save their own unique copy.

    Users can easily compare and combine multiple versions with PowerPoint's Compare feature. This allows users to see the difference between the two versions of the same presentation, from which the user can decide which changes will be included in the final version.

    How to compare two presentations

    In this example, we will compare two versions of the Internet Safety for Everyone presentation.
