Question 1

What kind of comments are extracted from PowerPoint?

Accepted Answer

The extractor pulls all review comments and annotations from your presentation, including inline comments, threaded replies, and comment markers. Author names, timestamps, and the slide each comment belongs to are all included in the output.

Question 2

What format is the comments export?

Accepted Answer

Comments are exported as a structured text (TXT) file organized by slide number. Each comment includes the author name, date/time, and comment text. Threaded replies are shown in order under their parent comment for easy reading.

Question 3

Are comments from all reviewers included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, comments from every reviewer are extracted. Each comment is labeled with the author's name so you can easily identify who said what. This is perfect for compiling feedback from multiple stakeholders into a single readable document.

Question 4

Can I extract comments from older PPT files?

Accepted Answer

Both PPTX and legacy PPT formats are supported. However, the commenting system differs between formats — PPTX files have richer comment metadata (threading, timestamps) that is fully preserved. Legacy PPT comments are extracted with available metadata.

Question 5

How is this useful for teams?

Accepted Answer

Teams use comment extraction to compile all presentation feedback into one document for review meetings. It's also useful for creating action item lists from review cycles, documenting the review process, and tracking changes requested by different stakeholders.

Question 6

Does it extract resolved comments too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both active and resolved comments are included in the extraction. Resolved comments are marked as such so you can distinguish between open feedback and items that have already been addressed.

Question 7

How fast is the extraction process?

Accepted Answer

Comment extraction is very fast, typically completing in under 10 seconds. Since it only reads comment metadata (not slide content or media), the process is lightweight regardless of how large or image-heavy the presentation file is.

Question 8

What if my presentation has no comments?

Accepted Answer

If no comments are found, the tool will let you know that the presentation contains no review comments. This can happen if comments were deleted, if the file was saved as a new copy without comments, or if the presentation was never reviewed.
