Hi,
I have a list of adresses and would like to send an update request but without giving this person the rights to view the whole sheet.
Any ideas how to make this?
Thanks, Joachim
Hi Joachim,
If you send update requests they only get access to what you decide to be available in the request.
Would that work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,
thanks for your kind reply to my question.
Unfortunately I have to give them access to the sheet minimum as a reader.
Without the access right they do not get the update request mail.
This means, that the form does what you describes, but they can open and read the whole sheet if they click the link they got in the footer of the update request mail.
Best wishes, Joachim
Happy to help!
It should work and if they aren't shared with the sheet they won't be able to access it.
Can you check the settings in my attached screenshots? Are your's set up the same?

Did it work?

I'm always happy to help!
I'll get back to you if I think of a workaround of some kind.

As a possible workaround, you could send out manual update requests.
Would that work/help?
Fine, this helps me for individual updates.
What I dis was an extra flag column and a worflow to send an update request to a certain email in another column if the flag is set.
This gave me the possibility to check the flags some lines and send all of them update requests if I save this sheet.
Because I have only a fes wlines your workaround is perfect and enough for me, because it sends update requests without the need to give them access to the sheet.
Thanks!
Excellent!

Has anyone had any luck or figured out a work around to include attachments in the body/message of the email? I have received feedback from recipients of the emails that it would be more efficient to be able to download the attachment directly from the email, rather than open an update request, open the file, save the…
I have a number of published sheets, and in recent weeks the bar just below the sheet name, which contained the print icon, the view drop-down menu and the highlight changes icon have disappeared. I haven't done anything on the back end to the underlying sheets. Unfortunately I've put a ticket in for support help (on about…
