Access PPT on Shared Drive
We all store our documents and access them on a Shared drive, if there are a few people accessing and updating the same file - is there any best practice in how to track/log these changes?
RE: Access PPT on Shared Drive
Hi Nimisha
Thanks for getting in touch. PowerPoint doesn't have a true track changes feature like Word. You are able to compare two versions of the same presentation, outlined by Microsoft here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/powerpoint-help/track-changes-in-your-presentation-HA103479747.aspx
Another alternative is to have a hidden slide in the presentation that could be a table, where users document who made the change, the date of the change and what was modified.
If this is a critical part of your workflow, speak to your IT support team as they may have document management systems they employ on your shared drives. This can help you track revisions.
Kind regards
