Sharing Google Sheets is pretty easy. To share a Google Sheet, simply open the document and click ‘Share’ in the top right corner of the window. There you will find the different options to share the sheet.
One of the main advantages of Google Sheets is that it allows users to easily share and collaborate on documents. You can also share documents with people outside your organization with restricted access. Whether you want to share it with an individual or a larger audience, there’s a way to do that.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the steps to share a Google Sheet with others. Let’s get started.

When sharing Google Sheets, you can choose different permissions for the people you share it with. You can select the appropriate permission levels depending on what level of control and access you want them to have. Here are the different permissions you can give:
Viewer – This permission allows users to open and view the sheet, but they won’t be able to make changes.
Commenter – Users with this permission level can view and comment on the sheet but cannot edit it.
Edit – People with the ‘Edit’ permission can do everything the commenter can do and make changes to the sheet.
Make sure to choose the appropriate permission level to prevent unauthorized changes to the sheet.
