Coauthoring presentations in real time
After you invite others to share your presentation, they can click the link to the file and open it, even if you’re currently working in the file. Others can change the file as needed and PowerPoint 2013 keeps track of all your changes automatically. When you or your coauthors save the file, others receive a notice in their status bars that an update is available. When each person saves the file, the changes from other coauthors appear in each person’s file.
