Default Restrict ppt from editing

Hi I'm trying to lock my ppt so anyone using it can't edit it in any way. I can mark it as "final" which won't stop them from editing it. It looks like my version of Office 365 (I pay for this) doesn't have "Restrict Permission by People" in File>Info>Protect Presentation. It must be there somewhere. Any ideas?

When you save as there is a Tools drop menu.



In General options you can add a password to modify.

This is not super secure but will stop most people.

Actually that Browse thing is not obvious at all. I hate it!
