Here\u2019s how you can see and track what changed when the presentation comes back to you.<\/p>\n<p>To track the changes that the reviewer of your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation made, you\u2019ll need these two things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the source file<\/li>\n<li>A copy of the reviewed file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With those two items on hand, go ahead and open the reviewed file. Once open, go to the \u201cReview\u201d tab, then select \u201cCompare\u201d in the \u201cCompare\u201d group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/xCompare-option-in-Microsoft-PowerPoint.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.UQi1x016_v.png\" alt=\"Compare option in Microsoft PowerPoint\" width=\"396\" height=\"189\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now locate and select the source file that contains the original content before the review took place.
