Comment 2 Mathieu Denis 2021-03-31 16:06:26 UTC 
I tried to remove the sensitive information, but since I can't save in the original file, I won't be able to share the file that has the problem.

I tried to save as odp, perform the changes to remove the sensitive information and save back as pptx, but then at this point, the problem of saving disappears, so I don't think I can doing anything more than this.

It seems to be related to the grouping functionality. As soon as I ungroup the elements, I am able to save fine and reopen the file with the new changes. Maybe if the grouping functionality is used in microsoft powerpoint and reopened in libreoffice, you can reproduce the issue?
Comment 3 Xisco Faulí 2021-03-31 17:55:55 UTC 
do you reproduce it if you save the document to ODP, close LibreOffice, open the ODP file and save it to PPTX? if so, please attach the ODP file
Comment 4 Timur 2021-05-04 14:10:48 UTC 
You are asked for ODP. If you cannot attach one which reproduces the issue, please clarify what exactly is lost, is it video, if so which format?
Comment 5 Mathieu Denis 2021-05-04 15:57:17 UTC 
I tried again some time ago and it was not everything that was not saved, but only the content of, I believe, an object. I don't have more details, so if you want to close this bug, go ahead.

Literally, this is Insufficient Data. 
But this may be video, so it's better to mark duplicate to track it further.
