Before you share a Google Doc, make a copy

February 28, 2024

Before you share a Google Doc, make a copy. Rename it (by default, it’ll be called “Copy of” and your original file name) and share that. If you don’t, anyone with access to the original doc can review all your edits, changes and versions. Hit File > Make a copy. Ahem, reverse this idea to see someone else’s edits and changes.
