Google Sheets was built around the fabric called\u00a0collaboration. Unsurprisingly, all the innovations of this cloud-based application are centered around that idea. Unlike the case with other spreadsheet applications of age, one can access Google Sheets without the physical\u00a0constraints of location or device. In this article, we are going to touch upon the means by which we can use\u00a0Google Sheets collaboration.<\/p>\n

The problem space<\/h3>\n

Earlier, we were very well sharing the spreadsheets with others to collaborate. But, not in real-time. We were either sharing\u00a0them physically using external media or through electronic emails. These days, we could use\u00a0cloud drives, saving ourselves some time and effort. If we were to do that just once or twice, it is no trouble, it serves the purpose really well.<\/p>\n

What if we have to keep updating and share the updated file every time? And worse still, the problem aggravates manifold if there are multiple users of the file. Imagine the effort required to\u00a0keep track of version changes, and file modifications!\u00a0Thanks to Google Sheets,\u00a0we don\u2019t have to worry about any of that.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

SHARE: Google Sheets collaboration<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s consider an example.\u00a0A team of software experts\u00a0supports a software application. The project manager receives details of issues pertaining to various users of the application in a Google Sheets file. Each member will have to work on one or more\u00a0issues, based on their availability. Thankfully, Google Sheets has taken care of the challenges we discussed above.<\/p>\n

All that the project manager can do now is click on the\u00a0SHARE<\/strong>\u00a0button on the top right corner.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Collaborate-on-Google-Sheets-Illustration-1-Frame.webp” alt=”Issue Tracker Sample Data and Share Button in Google Sheets” title_text=”sample-data-share-button” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

On doing that, he will see a popup where he can key in the emails of all the people he wants the file shared with. Then grant them with\u00a0<\/span>edit, comment, or view access permissions<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0whichever he deems appropriate.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Collaborate-on-Google-Sheets-Illustration-2-Frame.png” alt=”Google Sheets Collaboration: Sharing Options Snapshot” title_text=”sharing-options” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

What if\u00a0multiple users work on it at the same time? No worries! Because Google Sheets handles that scenario so well. Please have a look at the following snapshot. On the top, we can clearly see the users who are actively working on the file. Not only that, but Google Sheets also\u00a0highlights the cells\u00a0the other users are working on. The cell we activate usually is in\u00a0blue\u00a0color.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Collaborate-on-Google-Sheets-Illustration-3a-Frame.png” alt=”Highlighted Cells According to Users” title_text=”google-sheets-collaboration” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

What else is there to collaborate?<\/h3>\n

Google Sheets lets us chat with all the collaborators, right on the file! That is a great way to connect with each other specifically on the file they are working on. We can start the chat using the Show Chat<\/strong>\u00a0button as highlighted in the image below. Read more about the Chat feature in\u00a0<\/span>this post<\/a>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Collaborate-on-Google-Sheets-Illustration-4a.png” alt=”Google Sheets Collaboration: Chat” title_text=”google-sheets-chat” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
