How to Force "Make a Copy" with Google Docs

Step 1:

Be sure you have shared your document as “anyone at Edmund Burke School with the link,” or “public.” This has to be enabled before you can use the force a copy trick. This is often the default!

Step 2: 

• Open the doc, slide deck, sheet, or drawing you want to use.
• Click in the search box and look at the end of the link.
• Replace the word EDIT with the word COPY in the link.
• Click return/enter.

Step 3:

Copy and paste this new copy link wherever you need–in an email, on your website, presentation, newsletter, etc.

Don’t forget STEP 1! If you haven’t made it shareable the link will not work!
