How do you access the PowerPoint file properties?

Accessing the PowerPoint file properties is efficiently done by clicking on the "File" tab and then selecting "Info." This pathway opens the Backstage view, where various information about the presentation is displayed, including metadata such as the title, author, creation date, and modification history. It also provides options for managing permissions, viewing related documents, and optimizing media within the file.

The other options do not lead to the file properties directly. The "View" tab is primarily focused on displaying the presentation in different modes rather than managing or viewing properties. Right-clicking the file in the directory pertains to file management within the operating system and does not provide the specific property information you find within PowerPoint itself. Lastly, accessing "Settings" in the menu relates to application settings rather than file properties.
