How do I make an editable copy of a Google Sheet?

Published in Google Sheets 1 min read

You can make an editable copy of a Google Sheet by following these steps:

  1. Open the Google Sheet you want to copy.
  2. Click "File" in the menu bar.
  3. Select "Make a copy..."
  4. Choose a name for your copy.
  5. Click "Copy"

This will create a new Google Sheet that is a duplicate of the original, but with its own unique URL and editing permissions. You can then edit the copy without affecting the original sheet.

Here are some additional tips:

  • Sharing the copy: You can share your copy with others by clicking "Share" in the top-right corner of the sheet.
  • Changing ownership: If you want to become the owner of the copy, you can change the ownership by going to "File" > "Share" > "Advanced" and selecting "Change owners."
  • Deleting the copy: If you no longer need the copy, you can delete it by going to "File" > "Move to trash."

These steps allow you to create a personal copy of a Google Sheet and edit it without affecting the original.
