Google wants to improve the real-time editing experience in Slides with a “Follow” feature that lets you jump to whatever page a specific user is viewing.
Tapping another person’s avatar in the Google Slides top bar will let you follow and “move with them as they navigate and make changes to a presentation.”
This joins the highlight around the slide in the filmstrip view. To stop following, click on their avatar again, and the badge will disappear. Google Slides will also stop if:
- The collaborator refreshes or leaves the presentation.
- You make any edits to the presentation.
- You click a different slide.
- You enter Slideshow mode.
Following in Google Slides is currently rolling out and will be especially useful for jointly reviewing documents:
- Available to all Google Workspace customers as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers.
- Available to users with personal Google Accounts.
