2. Select File > Info.

3. Select Check for Issues > Inspect Document.

4. Select the types of content that you want to inspect, and then select Inspect.

5. Review the results.

6. For each type of content that you want to remove from the document. Often Comments or Document Properties and Personal Information are removed. Select the Remove All button from each section you want removed.

7. Select Reinspect > Inspect to make sure all you want was removed.

8. Select Close and then share your presentation.
