How does everyone manage updating PowerPoint decks. How do you indicate which slides still need updated or reformatted versus which ones are done?

Add a text box to the top of each slide with a note in red : needs updating; updated; etc. and then delete the text boxes at the end

This is my preferred method. Comments can be easily missed. Presenter notes can be useful but aren’t intended for this.

I post a comment to the slide "needs updating" and specify what needs updating i.e. update title.

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization.

Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!
