Why can't you undo after saving?

A

acapella

Hi,

Here is a question that has always puzzled me: Why in the world is the undo
history deleted every time you save a presentation in PowerPoint?! It
doesn't make sense to me... Is it a bug or a "feature"? I don't find that
feature in Word or Excel....

Hi,

To me, it's a feature. At some point, you decide you want to save and move
on. So PowerPoint saves, and you move on. If all your undo's are still
available, then what happens? Do you send a file to someone else, and they
can undo your editing as well, because it is still available? Not something
I'd be keen on. Plus the bloat of file size having that information there
anyway.
