Sharing Google Sheets and Managing Permissions

When embedding Google Sheets, it’s crucial to configure sharing permissions properly, especially if the dashboard will be accessed by multiple users. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Ensure the sharing permissions for your Google Sheet are set to 'Anyone with the link'. This allows any person with access to the LiveFlow dashboard to view the embedded sheet.

  2. Share the link with your intended audience by embedding it into their dashboards. This enables collaborative workflows and broader accessibility.

What You Can Embed with LiveFlow:
Embedding Google Sheets into LiveFlow dashboards is straightforward and highly beneficial for organizing and sharing data. Whether you’re embedding sheets for your dashboard or creating reports for others, the process involves simple permission settings and embedding steps.

  • Google Sheets: Automatically updates the embedded link when changes are made to the original sheet.

  • Specific Charts from Google Sheets: Share individual charts without exposing the whole document.

  • Excel Files: Embed files directly from SharePoint.

  • PDFs: Embed documents from Google Drive.

  • Images or Videos: Use media from platforms like Loom, Zoom, or YouTube.
