POWERPOINT · PPTX CHECK
Check metadata in a PowerPoint PPTX
A presentation can carry document properties outside the visible slides, notes and graphics.
Quick answer
PPTX files can store author, editor, organization and custom document properties inside the Office package. Inspect those fields before sending a presentation to clients, partners or the public.
Metadata fields to review
| Field / area | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Author / Creator | Core property | Can identify who created the presentation. |
| Last Modified By | Core property | May expose the most recent editor. |
| Company / Manager | Application properties | Can reveal organization context. |
| Custom properties | Presentation metadata | May contain internal project or workflow values. |

Quick questions
Can PowerPoint contain author metadata?
Yes. PPTX files can contain creator and editor properties that are not visible on the slide canvas.
Does metadata removal remove speaker notes?
No. Speaker notes and visible slide content are separate from basic document properties and need their own review.
