Getting people aligned on a single template is our biggest headache for the ops side of the house. Will definitely need to research this further. Thanks for the post.
If you can, I'd do a bare bones starting template with like Cover, section divider, and title only layouts. Lock in slide dimensions, fonts, colors. Then ask (and pray) people upload that instead of letting Claude work from scratch.
Even if everyone goes in a different direction, it's much easier to merge and conform styles if you're working on the same template with minimal placeholders.
Ideally you get a library of "best practice" slides that people use as a starting point, but realistically people love doing their thing. Key is to set yourself up for an easy cleanup.
That's only true for the edit protection password, which obviously can't be implemented in a foolproof way, and therefore it's an honor system.

I personally knew about this when I needed to extract all images from a Word document in 2015, I had the idea to rename the extension to .zip and wow a conveniently placed media folder !
since then I renamed countless file extensions to zip, just to test. it worked nearly every single time
JAR/WAR, iOS apps, and others
A much more robust way to figure out what's in a file is using libmagic, accessible through the `file` command on *nix. I don't know if there's an alternative Windows though.

Very informative read overall.
