Remove Mark as Final Option in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

Have you ever received a presentation that doesn’t allow you to make any changes? That could be a password-protected presentation. Or, it could have been Marked as Final. Fortunately, Mark as Final is more of an administrative tool than a security tool. Its purpose is to make others aware that the author of the presentation doesn’t want others editing this work. First of all, you need to make sure that a presentation indeed has a Mark as Final attribute applied. To do that, check at the lower-left area of the Status Bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint Interface. You should see the Mark as Final icon.
