Way to notify users when using PowerPoint docs that someone else is editing the doc when trying to save changes to it.
We have PowerPoint 2013 documents on our Intranet site. There could be times when multiple users have the same doc opened from the site.
Is there a way that we can set these docs up so that users know when someone else has the doc open and that they cannot make any changes to the doc until the other person is finished with it?

So I guess they would see a message when trying to edit the doc that someone else has it open and when they other person finishes with the doc, they would get notified?
Also can this be done if the file is saved in OneDrive? Meaning the users could all have the file open and making changes and their changes would be update real time as they make them or is this not the case?
