Following this very new trend of working, PowerPoint 2016 seems to be forging its identity as a collaboration tool. The features we find in the PowerPoint 2016, options such as “Share” & “Inking” that are now quite available to the user directly within the Ribbon, allows the user to quickly access the share tools and collaborate with the team via cloud which does show the signs of how Microsoft is moving forward with the trend.

Work it out anywhere — The presentations that are stored in Onedrive via PowerPoint 2016 can be accessed online from any part of this world, user can perform edits to the presentations without even have to open the desktop program instead use a web browser or even a smartphone (Android or iOS) instead.

These efforts put by Microsoft clearly shows that  — in upcoming days the work is not stuck or stored at one place but its shared and its accessible globally which in turns mean that PowerPoint is going to be a people’s skynet of presentations. But how far is it going to succeed depends on the time.

In earlier version of PowerPoint, the inking feature was only available on the slideshow view whereas in PowerPoint 2016 you can access it right under Review section and perform annotating right away on the current slide.

On clicking Start Inking you get few more special options to perform this in a pretty keen manner, you can select Pen to draw, or select Highlight to mark text etc.

And once you are done marking, you can click on stop inking, save to cloud and share it with your team for further edits, you can also convert those markings to shapes by clicking on the Convert to Shapes option on Pens section and then clicking on the marking, or even better select the Convert to Shapes option first and then start drawing.

No matter how you do it, the annotations will automatically get converted to shapes once you leave the review section.

Enabling this feature does prove that the Microsoft is making efforts to make PowerPoint more collaborative tool, and we do agree with the Microsoft’s intentions because this indeed will help collaborators in new perspective.

That’s the short review of Inking. Download Office 2016 preview and try this for yourself.
