how to use google sheets notifications

Make sure you have the appropriate sharing permissions to receive notifications. You can only set up notifications for sheets that are shared with you.

This will open the Notification rules dialog box, where you can configure your notification preferences.

You can choose to be notified immediately when changes are made, or receive a daily email digest with all the changes. If there's a form associated with the sheet, you can also choose to be notified when new form submissions are made.

With this option selected, you'll receive an email notification immediately after someone makes a change to the shared spreadsheet. This is useful if you need to stay up-to-date with critical changes as they happen.

If you prefer to receive a summary of all the changes made to the spreadsheet in a single email, choose this option. The email will be sent at the end of the day, containing a list of all the changes made by different collaborators.

If your Google Sheet has a linked form, you can choose to be notified whenever someone submits a new form response. This is particularly useful for tracking and managing form submissions in real-time.

When you receive a notification, it will include a link to the specific cell or range of cells that were modified. Clicking on the link will open the spreadsheet and highlight the changes, making it easy to review and understand what was updated.

You can modify your notification rules at any time by going back to Tools > Notification rules. This allows you to adjust your preferences based on your changing needs or collaboration dynamics.
