If you see text in a banner that warns you the file is read-only, the original author marked it as final and discourages editing. This wikiHow will teach you how to unlock a read-only PowerPoint manually. Otherwise, you can click Edit Anyway within the banner.
1
Open the PowerPoint project. You can open PowerPoint from your Start menu or Applications folder, then open the project by going to File > Open. On the other hand, you can also right-click the file in either your file manager or Finder and select Open with > PowerPoint.
2
Click the File tab. You'll see this in the editing ribbon above the document space with Animations and Home.
3
Click Protect Presentation. You'll see this with an icon of a lock to the right of the Info menu.
A menu will drop down from the lock icon.
4
Click Mark as Final. Clicking here will undo the lock and remove the presentation protection.
The "Read-Only" text is gone from the title and the yellow banner will disappear, which means you can edit the PowerPoint.
To return the file to read-only, repeat the process to select "Mark as Final."
