Publishing

Publish your presentation to make it available to specific people of the whole world. You choose who can access your presentation by sharing the URL you'll get when you publish it. Robots and spiders can't get to your presentations, so your presentations won't appear in any search index.

If you use Google Apps, 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:

  1. Open the presentation you'd like to publish, and click the Publish tab in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  2. Click the Publish document button and a URL appears.
  3. Share this link with those you'd like to give access to the presentation.

Your presentation will be accessible from this URL until you either delete or unpublish the presentation. To unpublish it, simply click Stop publishing from the Publish tab. Then, no one accessing the presentation from the published URL will be able to access it.

Embedding presentations in a website

Here's how you can post a presentation online:

  1. Click the Publish tab in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  2. Click the Publish document button.
  3. Click the Select presentation size drop-down menu to choose the size of your embedded presentation.
  4. Copy and paste the code that appears into your website to embed it. Pick small or medium for blogs, and large for onscreen viewing and reading.

Once you've embedded a presentation, others will be able to access the code and embed this presentation on additional sites by clicking the Menu button at the bottom-right of the embedded presentation.

For a walk-through of these steps, please review the following slides by using the arrow controls at the bottom.
