You may need to compare two versions of a PowerPoint Presentation to see the differences between them (e.g., if a colleague has edited it directly without noting the changes). And the quickest way to do this is with PowerPoint’s built-in Compare function. To use this:
Open the original version of your presentation
Go to Review > Compare
Click Compare to open a browser window
Select the edited version of the presentation and click Merge
You will then enter Review Mode. This will open the Reviewing Pane, which shows a list of all edits in the presentation at the right of the screen.
