When you’re presenting a presentation, it’s important to keep your audience in mind. You want them to be able to understand what you’re saying, but also to be able to see the different versions of your presentation. To do this, you can compare and merge different versions of your presentations in PowerPoint. This will help you keep your audience focused on what you’re saying and make sure that each version is as clear as possible. To start, open PowerPoint and create a new presentation. Then, choose the Version tab and select the version of your presentation that you want to compare and merge. Next, click on the Compare button. This will show a list of all of the different versions of your presentation that are available in PowerPoint. Once you’ve selected one of these versions, click on the Merge button. This will take you to a screen where you can choose which parts of the presentation should be merged together. You can also choose which slides should be included in each merged version. Once you’ve made these choices, click on the Merge button again and then click on OK to finish merging your presentations.


Did you know you can compare two different versions of your presentation in PowerPoint and merge the changes? This is a very handy feature you can take advantage of if you work a lot with PowerPoint presentations with your team.

After a person has made changes to your presentation, you can compare your original with the one that has been changed. Just open your original presentation and go to Review  and click on Compare.

Select the new presentation to check on the changes that have been made to it.

You will now see a new pane on your right, which highlights the changes that have been made to your presentation. In the Slide changes box, you will see what changes have been done to the text, animations, pictures and other content changes. In the Presentation changes box, you will be able to review changes as deleted or moved slides or transitions.

Every change will be shown with a box that tells you what the exact change was. You can select or deselect to approve or deny the changes.
