Google Slide integrations with Lucidchart - Do these work with copies of the original Google Slide deck slides

I have people requesting edit access to my Google slides which are linked to my Lucidchart objects. If they edit my slides then the lucidchart objects will also update. I do not want this to happen.

If I instruct them to make a copy of the original google slide deck and edit that, will my lucidcharts be affected? Please advise, thanks

Not a problem. We are always happy to help! You'll see in the first blog post, that any changes to your diagram must be made in the editor, but they will sync back to the Slide you have them inserted in. So as long as you have your sharing permissions in order on the Lucid side, you do not need to worry about them being edited, or anyone gaining access from the Google Slides side!

Hi there! Thanks for posting. When you insert a Lucid document into a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide, it is imported as an image. Your Lucid account and documents will remain accessible to you only. When you say that the Lucidchart objects are updated, can you elaborate on what you mean?

I understood from my reading that I can integrate Lucidchart and Google Slides. My understanding is that a change made to a diagram in one or the other platform can sync across. See these two articles.

If I have misinterpreted this I welcome being set right but as I have people who do not have access to the process flows I have created wanting to edit the slide versions I need to protect the original diagrams. I welcome any guidance you can offer me.

The users are asking for edit access to the slides. That is a sharing permission right? I think they want to use by process flows as a basis for their own but if they start to edit my slide then they will edit my lucidchart right? Unless there is another layer of sharing permissions that prevents any edits they make in the slides to effect my originals? Is there another layer of protection? How can I protect my lucidchart diagrams if i give edit access to the slides?

Let me clarify - users who edit your slides will *not* be able to edit your Lucidchart diagrams.
