Quickly review your PowerPoint presentation for confidential items you would prefer to remove before finalizing, including sticky notes, interim status stamps, hidden shapes, hidden slides and more.

PPT Productivity's PowerPoint Proofing tools features include the Check Content for Confidential items Feature. This feature scans your PowerPoint presentation and finds items you might want to remove before finalizing, including:

  • Empty shapes: Identifies any empty shapes in the presentation, so you can choose to remove or retain them.
  • Slide notes: Proofing tools finds any slide notes in your Presentation. You can single click to remove all PowerPoint slide notes or choose to review each note.
  • Comments: Proofing tools finds any PowerPoint comments in your Presentation. You can choose to single click delete all comments in PowerPoint, review each comment or ignore the warning.
  • Status Stamps: If you have used PPT Productivity's Status Stamps in PowerPoint while preparing your slides, you can check to ensure all stamps have been deleted before finalizing your presentation.
  • Sticky Notes: If you have used PPT Productivity's Sticky Notes feature while preparing your PowerPoint slides, you can check to ensure all sticky notes have been deleted before finalizing your presentation.
  • Hidden Tags: Find any hidden tags in your PowerPoint Presentation and review or remove them (note: we recommend reviewing tags, rather than deleting all via auto-fix. The feature identifies all PowerPoint tags because some tags contain data you may want to remove. However, some tags are application specific and removing them can impact functionality in PowerPoint).
  • Hyperlinks: Identifies any hyperlinks in your PowerPoint presentation, so you can confirm whether you intended to include them in the final version (this is also a reminder to test whether they are valid links if you plan to keep them in the presentation).
  • Alt Text: Identifies any Alt Text in your PowerPoint presentation, so you can review each instance to ensure descriptions are relevant or delete if preferred (it is important to note that Alt Text is a great feature for improving accessibility of documents. This feature is a prompt to review the Alt text which is often auto generated).
  • Hidden shapes: Identifies any hidden shapes in your PowerPoint presentation, so you can choose to remove or retain them (e.g. shapes or textboxes obscured behind other shapes).
  • Hidden slides: Identifies any hidden slides in your PowerPoint presentation, so you can confirm whether to unhide or remove them.
The Check Content in PowerPoint feature gives you the option to auto-fix comments, sticky notes status stamps and animations in a single click. For Hidden Tags, Hidden Shapes, Hidden Slides, Alt Text and Hyperlinks, the feature will show you each instance, so you can review and determine the best way to fix.
