Encrypt Document: Encrypt Document is used to add password protection to a presentation. It increases the security of the presentation by adding encryption. By using this feature, a user can prevent the presentation from unauthorized access.



Restrict Permission: Restrict Permission is used to assign specific rights to a user. It restricts users to edit, copy, and print a presentation. It uses Information Rights Management in Microsoft Office to prevent a presentation from unauthorized access. A user can use the Restrict Permission feature by installing Windows Right Management client.



Digital Signature: Digital Signature is used to ensure the integrity and non-repudiation of presentations. A user can use Digital ID for adding digital signature. A user can change and view the certificate for certificate properties and certification path.



Mark as Final: When a document is marked as Final, the status of the document is set to final and all the typing, editing, and proofing commands/tools are become turned off. It makes a presentation read only. It is used to protect and prevent the presentation information from unauthorized users.



Document Inspector: Document Inspector is used to check a presentation for hidden metadata or personal information. It can be used to inspect comments, revision marks, link annotations, headers and footers, watermarks, invisible content, off slide content, custom XML data, and hidden text, etc.
