Does version history show all users' work?

Question

I created a Power Point and gave edit permission for a limited time to several users. A user deleted work by another user (on purpose). The version history shows which version has the work deleted. The prior version shows the work in the presentation. Is the user associated with each version accurate, or is the user shown one of a group of users who were on at that particular time?

Hi Amy,

As mentioned in Work together on PowerPoint presentations, you can get notifications when you open a changed file and track changes by others. See the article for more information.

HI Amy,

When multiple people are co-authoring a PowerPoint presentation, the latest changes will be reflected in all users’ documents. For the problem you mentioned, there may be two reasons. One is that the document of the user who deleted the relevant content is not correctly synchronized to OneDrive, and the other is that the PowerPoint client of the user who shows the previous version of the document has a problem when synchronizing with OneDrive.

To determine it, you may have these two users log in to OneDrive for the web and open the affected files with PowerPoint for the web to check whose PowerPoint client the problem is.

There is two KB articles for your reference:

Document collaboration and co-authoring;

Work together on PowerPoint presentations.

I have version 2010.13328.20356. Will these instructions that you posted work for this version? Thank you.

This was partially helpful. I want to know if I can tell who deleted text or a photo.
