A long time ago, we added it to the MAKEFILE that ran notepad on the text file that required updating.
The timestamp of the text file with the reminder in it. LOL. Resaving the file after addressing the potential issue stopped the message from coming up again until next time.
In todays worlds, I would probably build a spreadsheet that had was setup as:
FileName,DateTimeUpdated,ISSUE_FLAG,,,OtherDependencyName1,DateTimeConfirmed1,OtherDependency2,DTC2,....
Such that the powerpoint that can break is one of the dependencies of the file in question.
In fact, multiple files, if changed, can break the dependency.
The issue Flag is simply set if the DateTimeUpdated > Min(DTC1,DTC2,DTC3...)
Now, you could simplify it by repeating the row for each filename, and only having one dependency per row.
A Simple macro to lookup the date time stamp of the files in question.
The upside is that this is simpler, easier to update, and finally easier to make notes of what the dependency is so you know what to double check.
It gets down to WHY track the dependency. Our Text File had the instructions for testing/validating.
It was included with the source control. And served as a good reminder when committing changes to make the same changes back into production.

Visio.
You can have hyperlinks between pages and elements; allows for "drilling down". You can effectively generate a (documentation) web site (html export).
Like the "whiteboard" suggestion, but more manageable (IMO).

Hm. Interesting. I'll look into that. Thanks.

You got moderated.
On the other hand... this can degenerate quite fast... maybe moving it to soapbox?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I survived three years on a highschool in El Paso, but had to do so without a gun.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

You would not believe it 
The school was so fancy that even the mice in the kitchen had to wear a tie.

No, just the fanciest private school El Paso had to offer. My father's employer paid part of the tuition fees to spare us kids the overfilled public schools.

I predict a decline in the number of working teachers... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Why? They allowed to get guns too...I would say we will see a change in teaching methods...And exams will carry out more like an interrogation...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Would you want to stand in front of 30 teenage boys armed with concealed weapons and hand out bad grades?

??? It's about 21 and over!!! Not that it much more safe, but the teacher can start that 'hand-out' process by loading the chamber of his/her own 'toy'...

0) You have to be 21 to get a concealed carry license in Texas.
1) Grades are handed out electronically, so there's no need to stand in from of 30 teenage boys.

Doesn't make it so much different.

I suppose the teacher has still go to come to the school physically at some point.

To go along with the decline in the number of qualified teachers?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Well, there were argument how it will suppress free speech - but that constitutional amendment isn't nearly as important as the constitutional amendment that let's you talk with a 45 cal or Glock 9. At least for those who evolved the capability of speech.
But - really now - if it lowers the population of Texass, sufficiently, it will all have been worth it now, correct?

law will discourage students from attending universities
This seems like bullshit. Do guns discourage people from living in the US? Or going anywhere public?

Well, speaking for myself, I will not live in certain states and certainly not visit certain cities. In fact, I'm not actually that keen on travelling abroad at the moment.
And there are obviously places in certain cities that I, as a white guy, will not wander into.

Yes, every time someone is shot.
I stand behind the right to possess arms, I don't think carrying them is an answer to anything. I don't want to own any.

I think they need an amendment about the constitutional right to bring alcohol with you!
Gun + Alcoholic beverage would be a really powerful mix! One that could only be controlled with more guns and alcohol!
