Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable offline access for your Google Slides presentations.

Quick summary

Google Slides lets you work offline by enabling the Make available offline setting from the File menu. Once activated, any changes you make without an internet connection will sync automatically when you reconnect.

Steps

Open your Google Slides presentation and click File.
From the menu, select Make available offline to enable offline editing for your presentation.
Wait for the confirmation notification that appears once offline access is successfully enabled.
You're all set — any changes made offline will sync automatically when your connection is restored.

📌 Why this matters

Enabling offline access in Google Slides ensures you can keep editing and presenting even without an internet connection, making it essential for travelers, remote workers, and anyone in low-connectivity environments. The Make available offline feature takes just seconds to activate and automatically syncs all changes once you reconnect, so no work is ever lost. This capability removes a key productivity blocker for Google Workspace users who need reliable access to their presentations anywhere, anytime.
