By Neha T Leave a Comment

If you want to track the changes made by reviewers of your presentation, then this article will guide you to do so. You may have observed the “Track Changes” option under Review tab in MS Word, which you turn on if you want to track changes made to your document. But, MS Powerpoint does not have such an option. In fact, in MS Powerpoint the original presentation is compared with the shared presentation to find out the changes made by the reviewers in the shared presentation. If you want, you can accept or reject the changes made by the reviewers.

Steps to track changes in MS Powerpoint (PPT) 2016:

Step 1: Create your presentation and save the original copy on your computer and share a copy of your presentation by a different name to your reviewer. You can ask them to make the changes they feel like, to that shared presentation.
Now, you have two copies to compare first, the original copy that you saved on your computer and second, copy that you shared with reviewer with a different name.

Step 2: Open the original presentation saved on your computer click on the “Review” tab at the top of your screen and under “compare” group click on the “Compare” tab as shown in the figure.
