Save Content to Multiple Spreadsheets at Once

Add to Sheets is a Chrome extension that lets you add content from anywhere on the web to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Using the Groups feature of the extension, you can automatically save content to multiple Sheets Drive files in 1 click.

Instead of having 3 menu options, it’s possible to have a single menu option that saves content to multiple Sheets files at the same time.

To get familiar with creating a a column configuration, check out the how to save content to Google Sheets.

Once you have a few columns set up, you can create a group to save content to multiple Sheets at the same time.

Creating Groups

For this example, we’ll assume that we have 3 configurations set up in the extension already. Each of these configurations saves content to a different Google Sheets file:

• Wedding budgeting: This configuration saves content to a Google Sheets file that tracks budgeting for a wedding.

• Daily Budget Tracking: This configuration saves content to a Google Sheets file that tracks personal spending and budget details.

• Vacation Planning: This configuration saves content to a Google Sheets file that tracks travel wishlists and trip details.

✨ Now, imagine that you want to add daily spending purchase to all 3 of these Sheets files for budget tracking.

👉 You can create a group to save content to all 3 Sheets files at the same time.

Create a new group

1. In the Add to Sheets extension, click the Groups expander.

2. Give your group a name and select the columns you want to save content to.

In this example, we’ll name the group 📊 Track Spending and select the Daily Budget Tracking, Wedding budgeting, and Vacation Planning configurations.

3. Click the Create Group button to create a new group.

Now, you can hide the individual configurations by toggling the visibility using the column edit.

And that’s it! You’ve created a group that saves content to multiple Google Sheets files at the same time. Now, when you right-click on a webpage, you’ll see the 📊 Track Spending group in the Add to Sheets context menu.

When you click on the group, the content will be saved to all 3 Sheets files with a single click.

Editing Groups

To edit a group, click the Edit button next to the group you want to modify.

You can add or remove configurations from the group, change the group name, or delete the group entirely.
