Reference: Access to Linked Worksheets Data in Slides
We will retire Slides on October 16, 2026 and will not be providing a replacement. To preserve existing Slides presentations, you can use the Download options in the Slides UI (File > Download) to download the slides as static PDFs or PPTs.
The actions you can do with linked Worksheets data in Slides is based on the type of access you have to the presentation. If you create the presentation, you have edit access. If you share a presentation with someone else, you can specify either Can View or Can Edit permissions.
Actions | Can View Permissions | Can Edit Permissions |
|---|---|---|
View linked data | X | X |
Insert linked data | X | |
Refresh linked data | X | |
Copy a presentation with linked workbooks | X | X |
You can view all linked data in a presentation by clicking
View
> Linked Data
to open the Linked Data
panel. If you have view or edit access to a linked workbook, you can click the link in the workbook name to open it and view the source of the data. If the name of a workbook is missing, or the link to the workbook is disabled, you don’t have access to that workbook.
