Publishing: How to publish

Publishing allows you to make your presentation available to the whole world. You are given a URL when you publish your presentation. After this, anyone you choose can access your presentation by linking to it through the URL. Robots and spiders can't get to your presentations, which means they won't appear in any search index.

Google Apps users, please note that your administrator can prevent published docs from being shared outside of your domain. If you'd like to have this setting changed, you'll need to contact your administrator directly.

To publish a presentation, follow these steps:

Open the presentation you'd like to publish, and click the Share button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Click the Publish/embed button.
Click Publish document.
After you do this, a URL appears. Simply distribute this link to whomever you'd like to grant access to this presentation.

Your presentation will be accessible from this URL until you either delete it, or elect to stop publishing. To stop publishing, simply click Stop publishing from the Publish tab. After this is done, anyone accessing the presentation from the published URL will no longer have access.

If another user has enabled offline access to Google Docs on your computer, you'll need to sign in to your Google Account to view published docs.
