Why This Matters
Copying presentations lets you create multiple versions for different audiences, experiment with design changes without losing your original, or build templates for recurring presentations. You can also safely share copies with collaborators who need editing access while keeping your master version intact. Beyond the obvious backup benefits, copied presentations inherit all the original's sharing permissions and comments, making them perfect starting points for iterative projects where you need to preserve the collaborative history while branching into new directions.
