Hello everyone! Today I'm going to teach you how to create a shared spreadsheet. What does shared mean, you ask? Well, it basically means that multiple people can work on a spreadsheet at the SAME time.... the SAME spreadsheet. Another thing that it's great for is if you and your friends are working on a project, or you and your spouse are working on taxes, etc. you can do it together and remotely so there's nothing to worry about. You can even watch while your both on the spreadsheet. Here are instructions.
THE STEPS:
- Go to Google Drive's official website (Look it up) and either sign in with your Google Account or Sign up with Google to get into Google Drive.
- After you have done that, you'll see a menu called, "Drive" at the side of your page. There will be two options: an "UP" arrow and an option called "Create".
- Click "Create" and another menu should come up with several options. Click the "Spreadsheet" option and a new window should open in your browser with a spreadsheet called "Untitled spreadsheet".
- When you are on this page, click the "Share" button. It will ask you to name your spreadsheet. Enter anything you like.
- Now you'll see something called "Who has access" and under it, something that says "Private - Only the people listed below can access".
- Click the "Change" button and several options will come up. Depending on what you want, click that option. "Public on the web" means anyone on the internet can see it. "Anyone with the link" means anyone who has the link to your shared spreadsheet can access but those who don't cannot. "Private" means only those you invite/allow are allowed to access it.
- If you chose Private and want to add people to the list of allowed users, you'll see a text box that says "Add people". You can add emails, people on your friends list (if you have a Gmail account), etc.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and there will possibly be more to come. I look forward to working with you guys.
