# Sharing and people

Share a presentation by link or with people by name, set what each person can do, and work on one presentation together.

Click **Share** in the title row to open the sharing dialog. What you can share depends on whether you have signed in.

## Share by link

1. **Choose who can open it**

   Under General access, choose Restricted (only you and the people you add) or Anyone with the
   link.

2. **Choose what they can do**

   Beside it, choose Viewer, Commenter or Editor.

3. **Copy the link**

   Click Copy link and send the address. The first Copy link makes the address; a second copy sends
   the same one.

| Role      | Can do                                                   |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Viewer    | Open and present the presentation.                       |
| Commenter | Everything a viewer can do, and add and answer comments. |
| Editor    | Everything a commenter can do, and change the slides.    |

The dialog also makes three fixed links under More: a view link, a present link that opens the slideshow, and an edit link. Each one can be rotated or revoked, so an old address stops working.

## Share with people by name

Signed in, click More in the sharing dialog to add people by email and pick a role for each person. The people list shows the owner first, then each person with their role. Use the menu on a person's row to change the role, set an expiration date or remove their access.

A person who opens a restricted presentation without access sees a page that lets them ask for it. The owner sees the request in the sharing dialog and can approve it there.

## Work together

Several people can edit one presentation at the same time, and changes from others appear as they are made. The title row shows a chip for everyone who has the presentation open, and View > Live pointers shows where their pointers are on the slide.

Click a person's chip and choose Follow to have your editor show the slide they are on.

## Comments

Select an object, some text or a table cell and choose Insert > Comment (Cmd+Option+M) to comment on it, or comment on the whole slide. View > Comments shows, expands, minimizes or hides the comments, and the Comments panel lists every comment with its replies.

## Signing in

You do not need an account to make or present a presentation. Signing in with Continue with Google adds three things:

* The presentations you made in this browser move to your account, so you can open them on another computer.
* You can share a presentation with people by name.
* Your name and picture show to the people you work with.

A presentation made without an account lives in this browser until you sign in. Clearing the browser's site data removes it, so download a Turboslide file under File > Download if you want a copy.
