How to Change Ownership of Google Slides

Use this interactive demo to learn how to transfer ownership of a Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Changing ownership of a Google Slides presentation transfers full control to another user via the Share settings. The original owner becomes an editor once the transfer is confirmed.


Steps

  1. Open the Google Slides presentation you want to transfer ownership of.
  2. Click the Share button in the top right corner to manage access settings.
  3. Find the person you want to make owner and click the dropdown next to their name.
  4. Select Transfer ownership from the permissions menu to give them full control of the presentation.
  5. Confirm the ownership transfer when prompted — you will become an editor instead.

📌 Why this matters

Transferring ownership of a Google Slides presentation is essential when handing off projects, changing team responsibilities, or leaving an organization. Google Slides only allows the current owner to grant full ownership rights to another user, making this a critical but often misunderstood workflow. Knowing how to use the Share settings and Transfer ownership option ensures seamless collaboration and prevents files from being locked to inactive accounts. This demo helps users complete the process correctly in under a minute.
