Q: What is the difference between restricting permissions and restricting access in PowerPoint?

Restricting permissions allows you to control who can read, change, or have full control over your document. On the other hand, restricting access limits access to specified users or individuals within your domain who can view the content.

Q: Can individuals outside your domain access a restricted PowerPoint presentation?

No, only those specified by you can access a restricted PowerPoint presentation. When saved as a PowerPoint show, users will need to enter a username and password to view the slideshow.
