ZAP Website > Landing Page for the DIY1 Unbound Google Script Project:

1. Same as above, but it will not give you the option to rename the file or specify a saving location. It will save it to the root of your Google Drive "Copy of " and the name of the existing file.

In the process, get an introduction to the Technology Club website and learn about an unusual situation that arises when you have multiple users accounts active and try to view a shared google file. With this simple process, which takes less than 60 seconds once you know how to do it, say goodbye to the Intuit Clan once and for all!

For Numbered Circle 7, In order to authorize the internal / Bound Google Script project only, the reference to the original Unbound Google Script project that persisted from prior to your download must be removed and a script must be fired that is self contained in the internal / Bound Google Script Project.

This is NOT something you will typically do in isolation like this for this particular template. This is the only video where action is actually taken for Numbered Circle 7. In all others it's skipped because the internal / Bound Script Project gets authorized by default when the External / Unbound one is Authorized in Numbered Circle 10.

This is worth watching, as we re-download the files from scratch with little to no commentary so you can see how much faster that process can get.

This builds on all the prior videos. For many people this will become their single standalone video for long term reference for this full process and the video prior will be their video for the first half only.
