00:00:09.429 --> 00:00:13.379
Before you share a presentation, there are
a couple things you can do to finalize and

00:00:13.379 --> 00:00:14.529
protect it.

00:00:14.529 --> 00:00:19.630
You'll find everything you need in the backstage
view… under Protect Presentation and Inspect

00:00:19.630 --> 00:00:21.900
Presentation.

00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:25.700
Inspect Presentation will let you remove any
hidden personal information that's stored

00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:27.509
in the file itself.

00:00:27.509 --> 00:00:31.960
It'll also check for elements that you generally
don't want in the final draft; for example,

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.050
notes or comments that you forgot to remove.

00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:39.160
Some of the changes from the inspector can't
be undone, so it's a good idea to save an

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:42.480
extra copy or your presentation before you
continue.

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.760
When you're ready, go ahead and click Check
for Issues… choose Inspect Document from

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.490
the menu… then click Inspect in the dialog
box.

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:58.809
The results will appear with an exclamation
mark next to anything that may contain sensitive

00:00:58.809 --> 00:01:00.170
information.

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:04.770
In this example, it looks like there are some
hidden document properties and personal info,

00:01:04.770 --> 00:01:07.140
and also some comments that I forgot to delete.

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:11.899
I definitely don't want these in the final
draft, so I'm going to take this opportunity

00:01:11.899 --> 00:01:13.799
remove them.

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:18.450
Just click the button to the right that says
Remove All… and PowerPoint will erase the

00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.369
data instantly.

00:01:20.369 --> 00:01:24.460
I'm also going to remove the personal information
the inspector found, because the people I'm

00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:31.030
sharing the presentation with don't really
need access to it.

00:01:31.030 --> 00:01:35.460
Now that our presentation has been finalized,
we can protect it to prevent people from making

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:37.390
any further changes.

00:01:37.390 --> 00:01:41.500
This step is optional, but it's a great way
to control who's allowed to view or edit your

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:42.680
work.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.439
All you have to do is click the Protect Presentation
command… and make a selection from the menu.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.829
Some of these options offer a high level of
protection, such as Encrypt with Password,

00:01:53.829 --> 00:01:57.000
which is good for really important or sensitive
files.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.829
If you don't need that much security, though,
you might want to consider one of the other

00:02:00.829 --> 00:02:02.049
options.

00:02:02.049 --> 00:02:07.640
In this case, I'm going to choose Mark as
Final, which will make the presentation read-only.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.280
This will discourage people from making any
more changes to the file, and also let them

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.340
know that this is the final draft.

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:22.819
Once you make your selection, click OK to
confirm… then OK again… and the protection

00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:25.349
will be applied.

00:02:25.349 --> 00:02:29.629
Now when somebody opens the file, they'll
see this little bar at the top of the window,

00:02:29.629 --> 00:02:32.329
and they won't be able to type or delete anything.

00:02:32.329 --> 00:02:37.590
If they do need to make changes, they can
just click the button that says Edit Anyway.

00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:42.029
This option doesn't provide any actual security
for your presentation; however, it's a good

00:02:42.029 --> 00:02:46.349
way to keep people from changing or deleting
something by accident.

00:02:46.349 --> 00:02:50.659
Now you know how to inspect and protect your
presentations using the features in the backstage

00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:51.169
view.
