Better Sheets - /copy

Picture this: You want to share your Google Sheet with someone else.

So you copy the link. Paste the link. And tell the other person the whole step-by-step of how to open the sheet, go to file > Make a Copy.

That sucks.

That's just awful for everyone. And a lot of typing.

There's a better way!

​

Add /copy to the end of the url.

BUT! You gotta take the non bits off the end first.

There's an even BETTER way!

​

BETTER SHEETS FIXED IT

Yeah that's right.

I fixed this whole process for you.

Take your url, go here, and paste it: BetterSheets.co/copy​

The new url with the /copy already added will be added to your clipboard.

You don't even have to hit command + C!

You can paste it now in your email to your friends, your boss, your coworkers, your employees, your VAs. anyone.

For example

This week I made a "My Barbie Checklist" spreadsheet I want to share with others:

​https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/1O8pOWRuroI4tnpasNN2MXfVeG-gqCYeYJOU1f7zOPwM/edit#gid=0​

Now I go to BetterSheets.co/copy, paste the url.

voila!

You can copy the sheet with this link:

​https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O8pOWRuroI4tnpasNN2MXfVeG-gqCYeYJOU1f7zOPwM/copy​

Enjoy!
