Collaborating: Notifications

Print

You can set notifications to find out when your collaborators have modified your spreadsheets, and learn what sheets or cells they've modified.You can also choose how often you'd like to be notified. Here's how you can enable notifications:

  1. Click Share at the top right of the spreadsheet and select Set Notification Rules.
  2. In the window that appears, select when and how often you want to receive notifications:
    • When changes are made to the entire spreadsheet
    • When changes are made to a specific sheet
    • When changes are made to specific cells
    • When collaborators are added or removed
    • When changes are made to forms
    • By 'daily digest' or 'right away'
  3. Click Save.

Note: You can also enable notifications by clicking Share > See who has access, and selecting My notification settings.

In the notifications, collaborators will see the usernames of people who have made changes. Viewers can set notifications but can't see usernames.

You won't be sent notifications about your own changes. You'll only receive notifications when your collaborators make changes.
