View Documents
If you want to see where your file is saved, click on the Google Sheets icon. This will open a new tab where all your documents are displayed. Here you can see the owner of the file and the last edit time, helping you keep track of your changes.
Rename or Remove File
If you want to rename or delete your file, click on the three dots next to the file name. Here you have the option to rename, remove, or open the file in a new tab. This feature allows you to organize your documents as needed.
Duplicate File
If you want to create a copy of your file, you can also do this in the menu. In the top left of the tab, under "File," you will find the option to "Make a copy." This is particularly useful when you want to create an alternative version of your table or test different variations of your data. Give the new file a clear name so you can keep track of it.
Share Documents
Another important aspect is sharing your documents. You can share the file with colleagues or add comments to receive feedback. Sharing files in Google Sheets is very easy and promotes teamwork.
Overview of Saved Documents
