7 Ways to Protect PowerPoint Presentation from Editing!

7 Ways to Protect PowerPoint Presentation from Editing!

Isn’t it annoying when you spend hours and hours creating a visually appealing presentation and do all the hard work, only to find out that your colleague or your manager has made changes to the presentation!

Intentional or not, now you’ve got to make the changes to your presentation again; some of which could have been easily avoided if you were able to prevent the presentation file from editing.

Here’s how to protect a PowerPoint presentation file –

  • Mark the presentation as “Final”
  • Restrict permission to PowerPoint
  • Save the presentation as a PowerPoint Show file
  • Set a password to modify PowerPoint
  • Convert PowerPoint to pictures
  • Convert PowerPoint to a PDF
  • Convert PowerPoint to a video

There are many applications of knowing how to protect your PowerPoint presentation.

So, in this article, let’s understand the 7 different ways to protect PowerPoint in further detail such that you can ensure that the person you are sharing your presentation with, will not be able to make changes to it.

Let’s get started!

1. How to Protect PowerPoint presentation from Editing?

We shall divide the 7 ways into two groups –

  • Prevent PowerPoint file from editing
  • Convert PowerPoint to make it uneditable

Prevent PowerPoint File from Editing

There are actually 4 ways in which you can prevent users from editing your PowerPoint presentation.

You can either mark the presentation as final, restrict the presentation by allowing access to specific users, save the presentation as a PPS file or set a password for your presentation.

All the 4 methods and the process to use them are explained elaborately in the following section –

Method 1 – Mark the Presentation as Final 

By marking the PowerPoint presentation as final, the PowerPoint file will become “Read-only” .

Although this method doesn’t restrict people from editing your file. However, they will not be able to save changes to the original file. When using this method, PowerPoint will force users to save another copy of the presentation file; thereby protecting your presentation.

This method is especially helpful when you share the presentation over the same network within your organization or even when the presentation is saved on a cloud. It is also helpful when more than one person is working on the same presentation.

It is not a perfect fix, but a quick fix to the problem for sure.

The process of marking your PowerPoint presentation as final is given below –

Step-1: Click on the “File” tab

powerpoint presentation templates lock

The first step of the process is to click on the “ File ” tab, which is the first option in the ribbon of your PowerPoint presentation. This will take you to the backend view of the PowerPoint.

Step-2: Select the “Info” option

powerpoint presentation templates lock

After you have accessed the “ File ” tab, select the “ Info ” option which is the 4 th option in the tab. This will take you to a new page in the “ File ” tab.

Step-3: Select the “Protect Presentation” option

The third step is to select the “ Protect Presentation ” option in the “ Info ” section (as shown in the image in step 2). It is the first of the four boxes on the “ Info ” page.

After you click on the “ Protect Presentation ” option, a drop-down menu will appear on your screen.

Step-4: Click on “Mark as Final”

From the drop-down menu, select the “ Mark as Final ” option. It is located at the very bottom of the dropdown menu (as shown in the image in step 2).

Step-5: Hit the “OK” button

powerpoint presentation templates lock

After you click on the “ Mark as Final ” option, a pop-up window will appear on your screen.

Simply click on the “ O K” button and the presentation will be saved as final. Once your presentation is “Saved as Final”, you won’t be able to edit this presentation going forward.

Thus, I recommend that you make this change once you’ve finished your presentation.

Method 2 – Restrict Permission  

The next method is to restrict the permissions to edit a PowerPoint presentation.

In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to protect a PowerPoint presentation and to prevent users from editing the PowerPoint file!

By restricting permission, you will be able to allow specific users to access your PowerPoint presentation.

To use this feature in your presentation, follow step-1 through step-3 from the previous section and then follow the easy steps described below.

The first step is to click on the “ File ” tab to enter the backend view of your PowerPoint presentation.

Step-2: Click on the “Info” option

powerpoint presentation templates lock

Now, click on the “Info” tab from the options in the left part of your screen.

Step-3: Select the “Restricted Access” option

The next step is to select the “ Restrict Access ” option from the drop-down menu of the “ Protect Presentation ” option. It is the 3 rd option in the drop-down menu (as shown in the image in step 2)

Once you click on the “ Restrict Access ” option, another drop-down menu will appear on your screen. Select the “ Restricted Access ” option which is the second option in the menu.

Step-4: Click on the checkbox

powerpoint presentation templates lock

After you click on the “ Restricted Access ” option, a pop-up window will appear on your screen.

From the pop-up window, click on the “ Restrict permission to this presentation ” checkbox. It is located at the top of the pop-up window.

Step-5: Add the email address of the users

powerpoint presentation templates lock

In the final step, all you have to do is type in the email addresses of the users with whom you want to share the presentation, in the “ Read ” option.

This will ensure that the users can only view the presentation file and not edit it. After that just click on the “ OK ” button located in the bottom right of the pop-up window.

Now, only the specified users will get permission to view the PowerPoint presentation.

Method 3 – Save the Presentation as a PPS file

Another method to prevent your PowerPoint presentation from editing and thus protecting it is to save the presentation as a PowerPoint Show file or a PPS file.

Saving a presentation as a PPS or PPSX will open the file directly in the presentation show mode when you open the file. Furthermore, when you exit the presentation show mode, the file will close and the user will not be able to access the content on the slides.

To save the presentation as a PPSX file, simply use the file “ Save As ” option, and choose the “ PPS ” file format from the “ File Format ” option.

I’ve written a detailed article on how to use the PPSX file in PowerPoint . If you need the step-by-step guide for the process, click on the link and check out the article for detailed guidance!

Method 4 – Set a Password to Modify PowerPoint  

You can also set a password in order to prevent users from modifying a PowerPoint presentation. This method will prompt a password before opening a presentation.

Although this method will not help if you want to prevent people from editing the file as you will need to provide the password even to view the file. And, once the password is entered, the users will be able to make the changes.

However, this method is super helpful when you want to protect a PowerPoint presentation and prevent it from being access by unintended users.

To set a password to modify your PowerPoint presentation, follow the easy steps given below –

As before, click on the “ File ” tab in PowerPoint. This will open the backend view in PowerPoint from where you can enable additional settings.

Step-2: Select the “Encrypt with Password” option

powerpoint presentation templates lock

The first step is to select the “ Encrypt with Password ” option from the drop-down menu. It is the 2 nd option on the menu.

Step-3: Enter your preferred password

powerpoint presentation templates lock

After you select the “ Encrypt with Password ” option, a pop-up window will appear on your screen. In that pop-up window, type in your preferred password in the “ Password ” box. After that, click on the “ Ok ” button.

Once you click on the “ OK ” button, you will be taken to a new page in the pop-up window.

Step-4: Re-enter the password

powerpoint presentation templates lock

Now, all you have to do is to re-enter the password on this page and then select the “ OK ” button again.

Once done, your PowerPoint presentation will be password protected and users will have to enter the password to access your PowerPoint presentation.

Make PowerPoint Uneditable Permanently? 

In the 4 methods described above, you will be able to prevent or protect your PowerPoint presentation file. More importantly, you will be able to share the PowerPoint presentation with the intended users.

However, if sharing a PowerPoint file is not important, there are other ways in which you can protect your presentation and prevent it from being edited further!

Interestingly, the methods described below will allow you to make a copy of your presentation and make it completely uneditable!

There are 3 ways in which you can make your PowerPoint presentation uneditable permanently.

You can either convert the presentation into a picture or convert it into a PDF file or you can convert it into a video. Let’s take a look at the 3 methods below –

Method 1 – Convert PowerPoint to Picture

The first way to protect your PowerPoint presentation is to convert it to pictures.

To convert your PowerPoint presentation as a picture, you will have to use the “ Save As ” option from the “ File ” tab. Simply choose a picture file format from the “ File Type ” options in the “save as” window.

If you need further guidance on how to carry out this process, check out my other article on how to save PowerPoint as an image for full details.

Method 2 – Convert PowerPoint to a PDF

You can also convert your PowerPoint file to a PDF. This is actually one of the most common methods used when you want to prevent your client or colleague from editing the presentation.

The advantage to save PowerPoint as a PDF over saving it as an image is that when you save your PowerPoint presentation as a PDF file, it is saved all the slides in one file just as the case would be in a presentation.

However, when you save a presentation as a Picture, the slides usually get saved as individual images.

Although the process to save a PowerPoint as a PDF is quite similar to that of saving it as an image, but if you are unsure how to do this, check out our other article on how to convert PowerPoint as PDF that details the process in an easy manner!

Method 3 – Convert PowerPoint to a Video

You can also convert your PowerPoint to a Video in order to protect your PowerPoint file!

If you have a lot of animations in your presentation, and you want to retain the animations when you show it to your colleagues or the audience, but you don’t want them to edit the file, then you can convert the presentation to a video format.

This will allow you to retain the animations, and make the presentation uneditable.

Converting a PowerPoint to a video requires you to use the “ Save As ” function. However, there are a few additional things that you may need to keep in mind.

Check out our article on how to convert PowerPoint to Video for a full guide with helpful tips.

2. How to Password Protect a PowerPoint Presentation from Opening? 

You can set a password that users will have to enter before they can access your PowerPoint presentation.

The process to password protect a PowerPoint presentation is elaborately explained in method 4 of the previous section of this article. Simply follow the steps explained in the earlier section and you will be able to add a password to your PowerPoint file.

3. How to Remove Password from a PowerPoint Presentation? 

The process of removing the password from a PowerPoint file is quite straightforward. However, it is important to know the password in order to change or remove the password protection in PowerPoint.

Let’s take a look at how to remove a password from a protected PowerPoint presentation –

3a. If You Know the Password

If you remember the password to your PowerPoint presentation, open the PowerPoint file, go to the “ Encrypt Presentation ” option in the “Info” section of the “ File ” tab and follow the steps given below.

Step-1: Open the “Encrypt Password” option

The first step is to click on the “ File ” tab. Then, from the backend view, click on the “ Info ” option.

Next, click on the “ Protect Presentation ” option, and from the dropdown, select the “ Encrypt with Password ” option.

Step-2: Clear the Password from the box

powerpoint presentation templates lock

Once you’ve clicked on the “ Encrypt Presentation ” option, clear the password from the “ Password ” box.

After you’ve cleared the password, simply hit the “ OK ” button, located at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window and the password will be removed immediately.

3b. If You Forget the Password

Unfortunately, there is no direct way of removing a password from your PowerPoint file.

To do this, you will have to use third-party software that will unlock the encrypted PowerPoint file for you.

The software that we would recommend is “iSunshare” . It is free to use, and you will be able to unlock more than just PPT files. To download the software from their website, click here .

How to protect / lock a PowerPoint presentation?

  • September 28, 2020

Lee-Ann

Unless you protect your PowerPoint document, anyone with access to the .pptx file can open, copy and edit the contents. Here's a guide to how you can protect/ lock your PowerPoint presentations.

This post is part of our hints and tips for standard PowerPoint features.  PPT Productivity is a time saving add-in for PowerPoint.  If you’d like to boost your productivity in PowerPoint and save time aligning, formatting and reusing slides, visit our homepage and download the PPT Productivity free trial today!

To protect your document, go to the file tab in PowerPoint, select Info, then click ‘Protect Presentation’

In the drop-down menu, you will find 4 or 5 options for protecting presentations in PowerPoint (options available depend on which version of PowerPoint you are running): ‘Always Open Read-Only’, ‘Encrypt with Password’, ‘Restrict Access’, ‘Add a Digital Signature’, ‘Mark as Final’.

Note - This article is about general locking of a PowerPoint presentation. However if you want to lock specific shapes on your PowerPoint slide from being edited – visit PPT Productivity's website to learn more about the PPT Productivity shape locking tool for PowerPoint .

Screenshot PowerPoint Protect Presentation button

Choose which option best suits your needs:

Always Open Read-Only PowerPoint setting prevents accidental changes by displaying a yellow banner at the top of the PowerPoint presentation indicating that the presentation is read only. The reader will need to opt-in to editing the document by clicking the ‘Edit Anyway’ button

Screenshot of PowerPoint Read-only View alert

Encrypt with Password PowerPoint setting lets you password protect your PowerPoint presentation. A password will be required to open the document. It’s very important to note that if you forget the password, you will not be able to open the presentation.

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, you also have a Restrict Access option in PowerPoint. The Restrict Access option allows people to view the PowerPoint presentation, but prevents them from editing, copying, or printing. To use the Restrict Access option, you need to have Information Rights Access set up on your machine. Find more information about Information Rights Access .

A digital signature adds unique code to a message which only comes from the digital ID held by the true sender. If you choose Add a Digital Signature in PowerPoint, you will need to have a Digital Signature set up.  For more information about Digital Signatures visit the Microsoft Support Page .

Mark as Final PowerPoint setting sets the PowerPoint presentation status to Final. Typing, editing commands and proofing marks are turned off. A yellow banner noting that the document has been marked as final will appear at the top of the presentation. Readers will still be able to Edit the document if they click on the ‘Edit Anyway’ button.

Screenshot of PowerPoint Marked as Final alert

Once you have decided which option is best for your needs, select the relevant option and save your document. Done!

Google is purging android apps from the play store, and it’s for the best, i’m removing microsoft from my life: here’s how, quick links, how to lock an object in powerpoint, unlock an object.

Have you ever accidentally moved an item in your slide and then had to spend time putting it where it was? In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can lock an object in position. This prevents those mistaken moves and wasted time.

As of this writing in January 2022, The Lock object feature is only available in PowerPoint for Windows .

You have two easy ways to lock an object on your PowerPoint slide . The first is handy if you only have a small number of items on your slide while the second works best for multiple items.

Related: How to Change Slide Size in Powerpoint

To quickly lock an object, right-click it and choose "Lock" from the shortcut menu.

Select Lock in the shortcut menu

If you have many items, it can be beneficial to use the Selection Pane. This lets you view, lock, and unlock items from a list.

Open this sidebar by going to the Home tab and Drawing section of the ribbon. Click the Arrange drop-down arrow and pick "Selection Pane" at the bottom of the list.

Choose Selection Pane to open it

When the pane opens, you'll see all of your slide items listed. To lock one, simply click the Padlock icon to the right of it. You can lock multiple items which is convenient if you want to make sure nothing moves while you work on one specific object.

Selection Pane with locked items

And, you'll notice each item has the lock option, from images and videos to icons and title boxes.

Related: How to Add a Video to a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation

Depending on the type of item you lock, you may see a more distinctive border around it once it's locked. As an example, you can see below that the title text box has a prominent border when you lock and select it.

Locked title box border

You cannot move a locked object, but you can still make changes to it using the ribbon, shortcut menu, or format sidebar. Below you can see our title is locked, but we can still change the font color.

Changed font in locked title box

You can unlock an item on your slide just as easily as you can lock one. Either right-click the object and select "Unlock" or click the Padlock in the Selection Pane to unlock it.

Select Unlock in the shortcut menu

Keep your slide objects and items save from accidental moves with the Lock feature in PowerPoint. For more, learn how to make a PowerPoint presentation read-only to prevent other types of changes.

Password protection for presentations in PowerPoint

A password helps to prevent other people from opening or modifying a presentation.

Caution:  When you create a password for a presentation, record the password and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, it can't be retrieved and you won't be able open or gain access to the presentation.

Add password protection to a file

Select File > Info .

Select Protect Presentation > Encrypt with Password .

In the Password box, enter the password you'd like to use. Select OK .

PowerPoint prompts you to confirm the password by entering it once more.

Save the file to ensure the password takes effect.

Password protection isn't supported in PowerPoint for ODP (Open Document Presentation) files. 

Remove a password from a file

Removing a password from a document is a simple process, but you have to know the original password.

Open the presentation whose password you want to remove.

Clear the password in the Password box, and then click OK .

Co-authoring a password-protected file

If you attempt to open a password-protected file that someone else is currently working on, you'll be able to open it, but you won't be able to edit it. You'll see the file in read-only mode.

Add or remove protection in your document, workbook, or presentation

Require a password to open a presentation

Click File > Passwords .

Under Password to open , select the Encrypt this presentation and require a password to open check box.

In the New password box, type a password.

Note:  To create a strong password, use at least seven characters and include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and non-alphabetic characters such as !,$, #, and %. Do not include your account name or other personal information.

In the Verify box, type the password again, and then click Set Password .

Click OK , and then save your presentation.

Tip:  To remove the password, clear the Encrypt this presentation and require a password to open check box, click OK , and then save your presentation.

Require a password to modify a presentation

You can add a password so that only authorized users can modify a presentation. Unauthorized users can still open the presentation and then save it by using a different file name.

Under Password to modify , select the Require a password to modify the presentation check box.

Tip:  To remove the password, clear the Require a password to modify the presentation check box, click OK , and then save your presentation.

Change a password to open or modify a presentation

Under Password to open or Password to modify , click Change Password .

In the New password box, type the new password.

To open a password-protected presentation: Enter the password for the file in the box.

Passwords are case-sensitive. Make sure you don't accidentally have Caps Lock turned on.

You can try again if you enter an incorrect password.

The file can't be opened without the password. If you don't know the password, you'll have to check with the person that encrypted the file. 

For ODP (Open Document Presentation) files, password protection isn't supported in PowerPoint for the web.

Be Password protecting PowerPoint

In this quick tutorial guide, you’ll learn how to password protect a PowerPoint. We’ll demonstrate using the Be PowerPoint Presentation Template  from Envato Elements. Download it today to follow along. 

1. Launch the Info Menu

Learning how to password protect a PPT begins on PowerPoint’s Info menu. Here, you will find the powerful Protect Presentation settings. Think of these as the control center for security in PPT.

To see how to lock a PowerPoint from editing, begin by finding the File menu. This is in the upper left corner of the PowerPoint ribbon. Click on File . 

Password protecting PowerPoint

On the left, shaded in orange, you’ll see a sidebar menu. From the list of options here, click on Info . The Info menu will launch and appear onscreen. 

2. Lock PowerPoint from Editing with a Strong Password

From the list of options, choose Encrypt with Password. The Encrypt Document menu will pop up. Here, you can type in a strong password. Key it in, re-enter the password, then click OK.

3. Open Slides to See PowerPoint Password Protection 

Now, when anyone opens your slides, they’ll see the password protect PowerPoint box appear. Before the slides open, they’ll be asked to input the password that you’ve chosen.

4. Optional: Mark PowerPoint Slides as Final

There is a second, optional feature to lock a PowerPoint from editing. Think of it as an important version control feature. It helps encourage viewers to leave files unchanged. It’s called Mark as Final.

How to password protect a PowerPoint

To mark slides as final, return to the File > Info tab. Once again, click on the Protect Presentation dropdown. But this time, click Mark as Final from the list of options. This marks your PPT slides as Read Only. Editors won’t be able to type or edit without saving a new copy. Thus, your original slide deck is protected. 

It's possible that this feature is enough instead of password protecting PowerPoint files. You could simply signal this preference instead of applying the full lock PowerPoint from editing function.

Either way, these options will help you protect your PowerPoint file and make sure it's not edited any further. PowerPoint password protection is valuable, and it’s a key step in your slide design process. Start using it every day.

What is slidesgo, how do you use slidesgo, reasons to use slidesgo, underrated features of slidesgo, more featured and educational content on slidesgo, slidesgo educator community and academy, key takeaways.

  • Slidesgo is a versatile, user-friendly tool with customizable templates for various uses.
  • Start using Slidesgo in four steps: Explore, choose, download, and customize templates.
  • Slidesgo offers a diverse template collection, evolves with the times, and can increase productivity.
  • Explore underrated and valuable Slidesgo features, such as tutorials, blogs, slidesgo academy, and more.

Slidesgo isn't just another presentation tool — it's my go-to option for spicing up school projects, creating custom collages, and delivering polished business slides. Here's why Slidesgo is a must-try!

Six featured Slidesgo templates including a Bachelor Thesis and an AI Tech Project

Slidesgo is a free, user-friendly platform offering an array of customizable templates for education, business, creative projects, and social media. Slidesgo stands out among alternative presentation tools for its seamless integration with platforms like Google Slides and PowerPoint, boosting productivity across different platforms.

Slidesgo is valuable for students, professionals, educators, and anyone seeking easy personalization of colors, fonts, and layouts to align with their specific needs and branding.

For best results with Slidesgo, keep these four quick tips in mind before and during use:

  • To download any template, you will need to create an account with Slidesgo .
  • Once you register with Slidesgo, you can edit templates online and download up to five templates per month.
  • There are two plans: Free and Premium (monthly or yearly payments). I've only used the free version since it provided everything I needed. However, if you anticipate using this tool more than five times a month, the premium plan is worth considering.
  • A yellow crown in the top left of a template thumbnail means you can only access it with the premium plan.

Using Slidesgo is a breeze. Here are four simple steps to get started after creating an account:

  • Visit the Slidesgo homepage .
  • On Slidesgo's homepage, you can explore trending searches, the latest themes, popular options, and more to find your preferred template. Use the menu bar to click Explore or Create and refine your choices.
  • Select the template of your choice, and adjust the color you want using those available.
  • Download the template by selecting which app you'd like to connect it with (PowerPoint, Canva, Google Slides, etc.).

Slidesgo can significantly help with productivity for school, work, or even social media purposes. Here are three reasons why I'd recommend you try this presentation tool.

Slidesgo Has a Diverse Template Collection

Slidesgo offers a wide range of themes and purposes with its diverse template collection. Some specific examples include template themes and purposes for a thesis defense, marketing plan, newsletter, infographic, or portfolio.

If you want to use an AI presentation maker to save time , you can do so as well. With its wide range of options, it's easy to find inspiration and spark your creative juices to take your presentations to the next level.

Slidesgo Evolves With the Times

This tool frequently updates its template library, which allows you to explore fresh and new options to take your presentations to the next level. For example, Inside Out 2 has been receiving a lot of attention recently, and if you have the premium monthly or yearly plan, there are Inside Out templates to use.

Slidesgo Can Significantly Increase Your Productivity

With these ready-made templates at your disposal, you can eliminate the time and energy you'd spend designing layouts and backgrounds from scratch. This platform streamlines the creation of presentations with an easy-to-navigate site and customizable options, saving you ample time and energy to prepare eye-catching presentations.
