# Show your speaker notes to viewers

[Canonical article](https://slides.com/docs/sharing-decks-with-speaker-notes)

Any [speaker notes](/docs/speaker-notes) that you add to your slides are private and only visible to you. If you&#39;d like to share your notes with people who view your deck you can turn on the &quot;Share notes&quot; option inside of the deck settings. With this option turned on your notes will appear on all different presentation views, including when exported to PDF or ZIP.

Shared speaker notes appear alongside the current slide. See an [example presentation](https://slides.com/news/share-slide-notes/) with shared notes enabled.
