So what else can we do? You can share so that they can edit it directly. The problem with this process is, you may have many students and all editing the same document. That's not what I want.
What I want to do is, I want them to make a copy but without the hassle. So all I have to do to set this up properly so that they all get a copy of this document is, just click somewhere in the document and then go to the url bar.
Look for the word edit highlight as shown in the image above and replace it with “copy” as shown below.
Copy and paste the url to the new tab and press enter. Now the only option is to make a copy. Best way to share a template that you have made. Same thing can be done with google spreadsheets.
