The existing “Personal Information Removal” setting is often used by commercial users to purge a file before sharing it with their customers. When users try to start a new file by copying an old file, this setting is currently carried over. Some users are not aware of it and, therefore, get confused when they collaborate on the new file. For example, their actual names (part of personal information) are automatically replaced by the generic “Author” in their comments. We are reducing this confusion by notifying users that this setting is enabled and offering a way to disable it.
When a file is opened for edit (not applicable for read-only files), if the “Personal Information Removal” setting is checked for the file, PowerPoint app displays the message This document is set to automatically remove personal information when saved and can impact your collaboration experience. Only keep this setting if needed. This message also comes with a “Change setting” button to disable the “Personal Information Removal” setting.
