Workshare Compare for PowerPoint Features and Benefits

Workshare Compare for PowerPoint makes PowerPoint collaboration easy with a seamless, intuitive way to track and manage changes in PowerPoint.

Select PowerPoint presentations to compare
Compare your original PowerPoint presentation against a previous version of the presentation or against an edited version from a colleague.

Review the changes
In one view, see the original and modified PowerPoint presentations, a written summary of the changes, and color-coded thumbnails showing which slides have been modified, deleted, or inserted.

Navigate between the differences
Move between differences by navigating between slides or by navigating between each item. Clicking a change in the Change Summary area will display the slides that include the change. The change that is selected is highlighted in the Change Summary area and in the Slide View area.

In addition, leverage the Slide Selector toolbar to advance to the Previous Slide and Next Slide. All areas of the Workshare Compare for PowerPoint window are synchronized when navigating between slide differences.

Apply changes
Incorporate changes into a new Microsoft PowerPoint presentation by selecting your preferred slides. If neither the original or modified slide is final, Workshare Compare for PowerPoint automatically opens the slide in Microsoft PowerPoint in order to make additional edits. Easily save the new slide version back into Workshare Compare for PowerPoint to complete the presentation.

Create comparison themes
Identify changes to a presentation with customized themes that dictate colors and text formatting. The colors and formats adopted depend on the comparison theme applied to the comparison. Utilize the default comparison theme, modify the theme, or create a personal comparison theme.

Search changes
Search all text in the Change Summary area or simply search the text that has been changed (inserted, deleted or moved).

Swap source files
Re-run a comparison exchanging the original presentation for the modified presentation and vice versa.

Save comparisons
Save a comparison as a Workshare Compare for PowerPoint file (.wpf) to share with others or reopen and edit as required.

Create comparison reports
Report on the changes found by the Workshare comparison. A comparison report can include both the original and modified slides as well as a list of changes per slide, just the slides, or just the list of changes.
