ShareLane changelog

Version 1.0 — 12 November 2026 · first release

• First version: a Google Sheets™ add-on that gives each person a view-only copy of only their rows, or of one tab, of a spreadsheet, and keeps it up to date. Open it from Extensions → ShareLane → Open ShareLane.
• By rows: each person gets their own spreadsheet with the header and only the rows that carry their email address. A cell with several addresses gives the row to each of them.
• Whole tab: one shared copy of a tab for a list of people.
• Preview shows who gets how many rows, and which columns, before anything is created or shared.
• Update now creates missing copies, rewrites only the copies whose rows changed, shares with new people and removes access from people who are no longer in the sheet. A copy deleted from your Drive is made again. Up to 10,000 rows per tab; a long update continues where it stopped.
• Copies: in one folder of your Google Drive™ per spreadsheet, “ShareLane — <spreadsheet name>”. Row 1 of each says who shared it and when it was updated; values arrive with your number formats and column widths, formulas as their results.
• Access: view only, with download, print and copy turned off by default; an optional note in Google Drive’s sharing email.
• Stop sharing removes everyone’s access in one click; the copies stay in your Drive.
• Free: one share per spreadsheet, up to 3 people, by rows (an email column) or the whole tab, every column, Update now by hand.
• Pro ($4.99 a month or $39 a year): automatic updates every hour or every day at an hour, also while the spreadsheet is closed; up to 20 shares per spreadsheet and 100 people per share; choosing the columns; a column of names matched to emails; comment access; an optional ShareLane log tab.
• Permissions: spreadsheets, drive.file, script.external_request, script.scriptapp, script.container.ui and userinfo.email. No full Drive and no Gmail permission; none restricted. See Permissions.
