Share Google Doc and Force Recipients to Make Copy


Scenario 1

Mr. Smith worked really hard on creating the perfect Google reading strategy template for his lesson. He was so excited to share it with his students.  He put the link on his website, made a note before the link and on the template, reminding students to make a COPY of the doc.  Unfortunately, some eager students started the lessons and didn't see the "make a COPY" reminder.  Now many students have made a copy with the eager students work.  What can Mr. Smith do to avoid this?  SIMPLE...

Mr. Smith's link https://docs.google.com/document/d/17O_89DvczzQwh5TEu_BRvNbXpvyAjaRFu_qf8O9bQ28/edit

When sharing the link, Mr. Smith can simply delete "edit" at the end of the link and add "copy".  .

Example 1:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17O_89DvczzQwh5TEu_BRvNbXpvyAjaRFu_qf8O9bQ28/edit
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17O_89DvczzQwh5TEu_BRvNbXpvyAjaRFu_qf8O9bQ28/copy


Note, some links might have extra letters and symbols at the end, delete everything from the end to the word edit.

Example 2:
