Google Drive: Share Google Files as Templates or View Only

By Anonymous

I've learned a lot lately about what can and can't be done with a Google doc to manage what happens when I share it with other people. In most instances, I use the built in sharing settings when I want to collaborate or convert my docs to PDF and share that so that my original can't be changed by anyone. Recently, I found that this was not the only way to do this and really it probably wasn't the most convenient way to share my documents. I've tried publishing my Google docs, but have found mixed success with the formatting. It seems that publishing works best with Google Slides, but other file types are not as friendly. To get around these hurdles, adjusting the URL can be a really useful way to  make your work or your students' work available.

2 Easy "Make a Copy" Solutions for Google Drive Templates

In looking for a solution for teachers who need to have students grab a document and make a copy in Google drive from an iPad (which is not possible in the mobile version or the Drive app), I stumbled upon two great solutions for "passing out" templates to students. Both solutions require that there be a document template that you wish to "pass out" to students already created.  The first solution I found is a Google Script written by Arun Nagarajan. Using this script, a teacher can now give students a link or QR code that they navigate to and click "Open Document" which makes a copy of the original document directly into the students' Google Drive account.  To use this, follow the simple steps below. If you are using a Google account within the Cdaschools domain, you won't have to do anything special. If you are outside our domain, you'll want to set up your own version of the Google Script following  these directions given by the author...
