Google Slides

Presentation prerequisites

Start with a presentation ID, presentation URL, or newly created presentation. Use presentations.get to inspect slide order, page element IDs, layouts, and existing text. Page reads and thumbnails can provide visual confirmation of a specific slide.

Safe updates and access

  • Presentations can contain private plans, customer material, or financial data. Inspect only the slides needed for the operator's task.
  • presentations.batchUpdate changes live deck content and formatting. Confirm page and element IDs, then group text, image, layout, and styling changes into a deliberate batch.
  • The restricted drive.file OAuth scope covers Slides files the app created and files the user explicitly opens or grants to the app.
