To copy a Google Sheets file into your own Drive, open the file, click File > Make a copy, type a name, choose the Drive folder to save it in, and click Ok. You can tick Copy comments and suggestions if you want those too. ProfitDrawer's bookkeeping spreadsheets do not rely on a shared copy link: you import the included .xlsx file, so the 12-tab workbook is created directly in your own Google Drive.
Steps (computer):
- Open the spreadsheet you want to copy (you need to be able to open it, for example from a link someone shared).
- Click File > Make a copy.
- Type a name and choose where to save it in your Drive.
- Optional: tick Copy comments and suggestions, and choose whether to include resolved ones.
- Click Ok.
The copy is a separate file in the folder you chose. Edits you make to it do not change the original, and changes to the original do not reach your copy.
If you have an Excel file instead of a shared link, you do not need Make a copy. Open Google Sheets and use File > Import to create the spreadsheet from the .xlsx file. That is how ProfitDrawer files are set up, which is why there is no shared link that can be moved or deleted later.
