Google Slides Publish to Web and Sharing Settings Plan
Share a deck safely with the right audience.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Help me choose the right way to share a Google Slides deck. Who needs to see it and whether they should edit, comment or only view: [AUDIENCE_AND_ACCESS]. Contents, including anything confidential: [CONTENTS]. Whether it must be public: [PUBLIC_NEED]. Ask me what the worst outcome of the deck reaching the wrong person would be, and use the answer to recommend how strict to be. Compare the options in a table with Option, Who can see, Who can edit, Stays up to date and Main risk: named people, the organisation, anyone with the link, publish to web, and a PDF [VERIFY setting names]. Explain in plain words the difference between a link anyone can open and one restricted to named people, and the risks of forwarded links, indexing and version changes after sharing. Recommend a choice with a checklist: remove notes, check for hidden content, check linked sheets, set an expiry if available, and test as an outside viewer. After the event, change the setting, remove access for people who no longer need it, and note the date in a log. Write the message to send with the link.
