How do you avoid or deal with the situation where a SME decides to update the PowerPoint file, and just sends you an updated version without any indication of what has changed AFTER you already thought you were finished?
The process I use with my clients is to work the content in PowerPoint first. But after I make the first build in Articulate, I set the expectation that I am in control of the PowerPoint "master" so that there aren't multiple versions of the PPT out there. All edits have to come to me, and I maintain the "master" PPT.
I think you have identified with how to avoid the situation, which is a great idea and I'm going to try and communicate it better with my SMEs. Thanks!

I think I found an answer!:

(This works on Windows PowerPoint 2013, even though the link is for the Mac version)
Great find Will and thanks for sharing.
I think you have a technical solution. If I had finished development I would suggest that they make their changes during the review process.
I agree with Phil.
