8. Reviewing and Sharing a Presentation

Chapter at a Glance

In this chapter, you will learn to:
	Preview and print a presentation.
	Restrict access to a presentation.
	Insert review comments in a presentation.
	Use a document workspace.
	Finalize a presentation.

After you create a presentation, you might want to review a printed version or make the file available electronically for review by your colleagues. You can make the file available either by sending it as an e-mail attachment or, if your organization uses a collaboration site built with Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies, by adding it to a document library or creating a document workspace. If you protect the file with a password, only people who know the password can open and change the document.

When you send a presentation to multiple people, each recipient can add comments and make changes in his or her version; however, you then have to incorporate all the changes into one presentation. When you work with a shared presentation in a document workspace, everyone makes changes to a single version of the presentation. Regardless of which review method you use, when the presentation is complete, you can remove extraneous information and then declare the presentation final.

In this chapter, you will preview a presentation, print a selection of slides, and then assign a password that people must enter in order to modify a presentation. You will insert, edit, hide, and display review comments. You will publish a presentation to a document workspace. Finally, you will remove the properties attached to a presentation and prevent other people from making further changes.
