How to View the Presentation History in PowerPoint

Click the small down arrow next to the "Undo" icon in the PowerPoint toolbar. A drop-down list displays recent text, graphic or editing actions.

Scroll down the list to view earlier history. Drag the cursor down to the bottom of the drop-down list to scroll to the earliest item.

Select the items you wish to undo and click the "Undo # Actions" text at the bottom of the drop-down list. The # displays the total number of actions to undo, up to 100.

Press the small down arrow next to the "Redo" icon in the PowerPoint toolbar to redo any actions or view undone actions.

Peruse the list to view "Undo" history. Drag the cursor down to the bottom of the drop-down list to view the earliest undone item.

Highlight the items to redo and click the "Redo # Actions" text at the bottom of the drop-down list. The # displays the total number of actions to redo, up to 100.

Open a multi-version document with multiple users stored on a SharePoint library or server.

Click the Microsoft Office button on the toolbar. Select "Server" and then select "View Version History."

In the new "Versions Saved..." dialog box, peruse the recent versions of the file, the user and save history, and whether the file is a "major" or "minor" version of the file.

Select a previous version to view in the "Versions Saved..." and click "Open." This doesn't affect or override your current, open version.

To restore a previous version, select the desired version in the "Versions Saved..." dialog, and click "Restore." The current, overridden version displays in the version history as a previous revision.
