## Does a PPTX file support sensitivity labels?
No. The Presentation library processes the file-level information of a PowerPoint file. Sensitivity labels are organization-level settings applied through Microsoft Purview and are not stored within the PPTX file itself. As a result, the Presentation library does not support setting, getting, or preserving sensitivity labels. For background, see [Microsoft sensitivity labels overview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sensitivity-labels).

## Can Presentation library Open a PPTX file with Sensitivity Labels Applied?
If a PPTX file is encrypted due to its sensitivity label configuration, Presentation library cannot open it because the content is stored in an encrypted format and requires an authorized Microsoft account for access.
## Can the Presentation library open a PPTX file with sensitivity labels applied?
If a PPTX file is encrypted due to its sensitivity label configuration, the Presentation library cannot open it because the content is stored in an encrypted format and requires an authorized Microsoft account for access. To detect this case before calling `Open`, wrap the call in a try/catch and handle the file-format/encryption exception, or remove the sensitivity label in Microsoft PowerPoint before opening.

## Does the PowerPoint library support asynchronous methods to open or save a presentation?
No, the Syncfusion PowerPoint library does not provide asynchronous APIs for opening or saving presentations. However, the library is highly optimized for performance and is thread‑safe, allowing you to perform presentation processing operations.
