Google Sheets Filter Views, Protected Ranges and Permissions Plan
Let several people use one sheet without breaking it.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Plan how a team can use one Google Sheet safely. Purpose and sheets: [PURPOSE_AND_SHEETS]. People and what each needs to do: [PEOPLE_AND_TASKS]. Parts that must not be edited: [PROTECTED_PARTS]. Present a table by role: which ranges or sheets to protect and who can edit them, how to use filter views so people do not change each other's filters, where to use data validation and dropdowns, how to use comments and assignments [VERIFY], and named versions. List the risks: someone sorting only part of a range, formulas overwritten, a copy made outside the team, and sensitive data in a widely shared sheet. Write a short set of working rules and a message to introduce them, a one-page quick guide for new users (five things to do and five not to do), a plan for restoring a damaged sheet from version history, and a monthly check of sharing settings and version history.
