Multi-User File Sharing in PowerPoint

[Guest]

Hello:

Does anyone know if PowerPoint has the same capability as Excel in Workbook
Sharing? In Excel, you can select Share Workbook in your Tools drop down and
have multiple users update a workbook at the same time without being locked
out; Can the same be done in PowerPoint?

Thanks for any help that you can provide!

No, afraid not. PowerPoint only allows one user at a time to work on a file.
You can open a read-only copy of an open file (which you can then save to a new
name or location or both to make it editable) but not edit an open file.
