# Read a saved presentation

GET https://api.bibleit.app/v1/presentations/{presentation_id}

**Required scopes:** `presentation.get`.

Reads the owned saved document/revision only. Excludes creator attribution, browser flags, quota and media storage metadata. Returns a strong ETag for update/delete. Preserves canonical slide/element IDs and reviewed verse notices.

**Response headers:**

- `ETag` (200): Strong validator covering presentation ID, organization, revision and rights-normalized document. Browser/editor saves and changed effective rights notices invalidate it.

Reference: https://docs.bibleit.dev/api-reference/organizations/presentations/get-presentation

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Organization-owned service token. Issue the initial token in organization credential settings. Scopes are documented per operation via x-required-scopes; they are not OAuth scopes.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `presentation_id` (string, required) — Immutable presentation UUID; missing, personal or foreign organization resources return 404.

## Response

### 200

Successful operation

- `id` (string, required)
- `organization_id` (string, required)
- `revision` (integer, required)
- `document` (PresentationDocument, required) — Version-1 document, at most 2,000,000 encoded JSON bytes. Slide IDs are unique across the deck, element IDs within each slide. Omitted slide background is preserved as omitted. Save retains caller slide/element IDs; no automatic publishing. Existing same-workspace ready media references are checked by the domain; upload and portable import endpoints provide ready media. Uploading alone never modifies the saved document.
