What is Google Slides?
What is Google Slides?
Google Slides is a presentation editor in the Google Drive productivity suite. Google Slides are presented in a linear fashion, where slides appear in order (unless links or other transitions are added). It allows real time collaboration between editors as well as different options for sharing the presentations. Because the presentations are in the cloud and associated with a Google account, users and owners of Google Slides can access them at any computer without having to carry around a flash drive. Additionally, a revision history is kept, which allows editors to access any version of the presentation in the past and also keeps a log of who made which edits. Lastly, Google Slides can be converted to different formats (such as PowerPoint or PDF) and are also able to edit PowerPoint presentations.
