# Present live or export PPTX - how to choose

Imagine a sales call followed by a procurement review.

## Worked example

Use these starting values to work through the decision, then substitute your own inputs.

Imagine a sales call followed by a procurement review. During the call, a browser link makes the current draft easy to show. Afterwards, the buyer wants an offline file and must change two scope lines. Test both destinations before choosing the delivery method: open the link without your login, then open the PPTX on the buyer's software and edit those lines. Keep a PDF for visual reference, but do not mistake it for the requested editable source.

## Define the handoff before generating

Ask the recipient what they need to change and in which application. A file can be visually faithful while failing the required edit. Separate visual checks from object checks instead of giving the entire deck a single 'editable' label.

1. Open them in the presentation app and on the device your recipient uses.
2. Perform the required edits, including a longer heading and a changed number where relevant; record each result separately.
3. Save, close and reopen the edited file. Check that the change, layout and necessary notes survived that round trip.

## Create your next presentation

Turn your own source into a presentation you can confidently share. Refine the outline and slides in the editor, then choose Pro for editable PowerPoint your team can keep improving.
