Collaborate with Google Slides
1. Collaborate with Google Slides
Welcome to Module six: Collaborate with Google Slides. Google Slides offers many features that make team collaboration easy. In this module, we will look at how you can use these features to communicate with your team. We will also talk about how Google Slides integrates with Gmail to make collaboration even simpler. When collaborating on a Google Slide, editors and commenters can use comments for discussions and action items. Comments will appear in cards on the right side of the slide. There are several ways to add a comment to a slide. You can apply a comment to the entire slide, or you can select any content in the presentation: a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, image, chart, et cetera. To add a comment, open the Insert menu and select "Comment." Or right click and choose "Comment" from the menu. You can also use the "Add comment" icon in the toolbar, or add a new comment from the Comment History dialog. The comment card will appear on the right edge of the document. Type your comment in the text box and select "Comment." You might want to send a comment to a specific person. To do this, you can mention a person in a comment by typing the + or @ character, then start typing their name or email address. Google will make suggestions for you as you type. Select "Comment" to send them a message and add them to the discussion. When you mention a person in a new comment, a checkbox will appear to allow you to assign the comment to them. Selecting the box will notify the person or make them responsible for marking it as done. The person assigned can reply to the comment or select the checkbox in the comment card to mark it as done and hide the discussion. If the person receiving the comment or being assigned the action item needs access to the presentation, a dialog box will pop up asking for permission to share access to the presentation. You can choose the sharing permission to grant them the ability to comment or edit. To reply to an existing comment or action item, select the comment card and type in the reply box. Select "Reply to comment" and add your reply. The content connected to a comment will appear with a yellow background in the slide or speaker notes until the comment is resolved or deleted. To resolve a comment, select the checkbox on the comment card to mark as resolved and hide discussion. You can also select "More options" to edit a comment, delete it, or get a link to this comment. The link leads directly to the comment. Send it to a collaborator and the link will take them directly to this comment in the presentation. As comments are added, edited, and resolved in the presentation, you can view all the comments by selecting "Open comment history" next to the "Share" button. From the comment history, you can view, edit, delete, resolve, link to, and reopen comments. Selecting any of the comment cards in the history will move you to the place in the presentation where the comment was added.2. Let's practice!
