Introduction

When you've developed content in your presentation and want feedback, you can electronically send a PowerPoint presentation to reviewers so that they can read, revise, and comment on the presentation without having to print it. Instead of reading handwritten text or sticky notes on your printout, you can get clear and concise feedback right in your presentation.

Adding a password to protect your presentation is not only a good idea for security purposes, it's an added feature to make sure that changes to your presentation aren't accidentally made by unauthorized people. Not only can you guard who sees your presentation, you can set rights on who can add changes and comments to your presentation. You can also add restricted access known as Information Rights Access (IRM). IRM is a tool that is available with all Microsoft Office applications that restricts a file being sent through e-mail to other users.

The Trust Center (New!) is a place where you set security options and find the latest technology information as it relates to document privacy, safety, and security from Microsoft. The Trust Center allows you to set security and privacy settingsTrusted Publishers, Trusted Locations, Add-ins, ActiveX Settings, Macro Settings, Message Bar, and Privacy Optionsand provides links to Microsoft privacy statements, a customer improvement program, and trustworthy computing practices. If you receive a security warning when you open a presentation, you can set options in the Trust Center to enable macro or active content. If you trust the content provider, you can add the trusted publishers or location to alleviate the warning in the future.

After you finish making changes to your presentation, you can quickly send it to another person for review using e-mail or an Internet Fax service.
