A great PowerPoint presentation can inspire, persuade, and educate. But in today’s digital workplace, it’s not just about stunning slides—it’s about protecting your ideas from unauthorized use, edits, or leaks.
Here’s how to level up your PowerPoint game while keeping your presentations secure:
1️⃣ Password-Protect Your Presentations
Before sharing, use Encrypt with Password to make sure only the intended audience can open or edit your slides.
2️⃣ Restrict Editing for Shared Files
In OneDrive or SharePoint, set permissions to View Only when sending a deck to clients or colleagues, preventing unwanted changes.
3️⃣ Use the “Mark as Final” Feature
Marking a presentation as final discourages edits and helps preserve the integrity of your work.
4️⃣ Remove Hidden Data & Metadata
Before sending, use the Document Inspector to clear hidden notes, revision history, and author details that might reveal sensitive information.
5️⃣ Be Cautious with Embedded Media
Videos, audio files, and links inside your deck can be exploited if sourced from untrusted sites. Always use safe, verified content.
We can help you integrate secure collaboration in PowerPoint through Microsoft 365, so you can present confidently without worrying about your content falling into the wrong hands.
