Use this interactive demo to learn how to share a PowerPoint presentation with another person.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to add someone to a PowerPoint file using the built-in Share feature in Microsoft PowerPoint online. In just a few clicks, you can invite collaborators by email and control whether they can edit or only view the presentation.


Steps

  1. Click the Share button in the top right corner of your PowerPoint presentation.
  2. Select Share from the menu that appears.
  3. Enter the person's email address in the share dialog.
  4. Click the pen icon to open the permission settings.
  5. Choose the appropriate permission level: Can edit or Can view.
  6. Click Send — the person will receive an email with access to your presentation.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing PowerPoint files directly from Microsoft PowerPoint online eliminates the need to send attachments or manage file versions manually. By using the built-in Share feature, teams can collaborate in real time with clearly defined edit or view permissions, reducing miscommunication and version conflicts. This workflow is essential for remote teams and anyone who needs to co-author presentations securely. Knowing how to add someone to a PowerPoint in seconds keeps projects moving and ensures the right people always have access.
