For Gdocs, Edit access can be changed to Viewing to avoid unwanted changes.
How can that be done for Gsheets?
CodePudding user response:
There's no button in the UI for it, but there is a "Preview" mode available for Google sheets. To get to it you need to edit the URL.
The URL of a sheet in normal editing mode ends with something like ...sOmE-lOnG-ID/edit#gid=1234567
. Remove the /edit
and everything after it, and replace it with /preview
. Hit enter to refresh the page.
It will load a data-only view, no toolbars or anything. Useful to avoid making any changes, though unfortunately there's no commenting feature like Docs has.
