Chapter 9. Collaborate with Others

You can enlist the help of others in reviewing or editing your presentations when you use collaboration features. You can safeguard your presentation by requiring a password in order to view it. You can send presentations to others in e-mail messages to review, and when they are finished editing the presentations, they can easily return them to you. Reviewers’ edits are easy to identify and then act upon, and you can even consolidate multiple versions of your presentation and see who made each change to it. You can also use comments to add notes to presentations without changing the content itself.

You can also send presentations to others for review as shared attachments. Shared attachments are stored on a central Web server running Windows SharePoint Services as a shared workspace. When users receive your presentation in an e-mail message, they are prompted to check to see if there is a more current version on the shared workspace, which assures that each user is working with the latest version of your presentation.

You can access and modify resources on your shared workspace from within PowerPoint. You can use your shared workspace to view document version information. You can even sign up to receive an e-mail message when anything on your shared workspace changes.
