I used to send separate emails with bulleted lists of “fixes,” but things always got lost in translation.

So, in this write-up, we will go through the complete steps to insert comments in PowerPoint and how to clean up a final draft by removing all comments.

The “Final Polish”: How to Remove Comments in PowerPoint
After all of the edits are done, the final polish needs a complete clean in PPT to ensure there are no comments still available.
To delete a single comment:
Just click the “X” in the top corner of the specific comment box.
How to remove all comments in PowerPoint (The Bulk Fix):
Removing a single comment is not feasible if our PPTs have multiple slides. So, we can go with the bulk deletion of comments. Below are the steps:
- Go to the Review tab.
- Hit the Delete button.
- Choose the “Delete All Comments and Ink on This Slide” option to delete all comments from a single slide. And choose “Delete All Comments and Ink in This Presentation“ to delete all the comments from the complete presentation.
