Sharing your presentation allows others to view, comment, or edit based on the permissions you set. Ensure you choose the correct permissions for your audience.
4. Click “Get Link” to Create a Shareable Link
If you prefer to share a link instead, click the “Share” button in the upper right corner of the screen to open the sharing dialog. Next, click on “Restricted” under “General access” and select “Anyone with the link.”
Then, adjust the permission level to either view, comment, or edit based on the level of access you want to provide.
Finally, click “Copy link” to copy the link to your clipboard.
Using a shareable link makes it easy to distribute your presentation without typing in email addresses. You can share the link via chat, email, or social media.
