The published link is separate from the spreadsheet URL and carries its own audience setting, so a canvas can be published to an entire organization even when the file itself is shared with a smaller group. Publishing requires edit access to the canvas, is done from the canvas toolbar's \"Publish canvas\" option, and supports either automatic republishing on source-sheet changes or a static view; it is currently available in Sheets on the web, and creating and editing canvases remains subject to per-user usage limits.", "body_md": "Earlier this year we [introduced Sheets canvas](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/08/use-google-sheets-canvas-to-visualize-data.html), which uses Gemini to turn spreadsheet data into interactive mini-apps like dashboards, kanban boards, and calendars. Starting today, you can publish a Sheets canvas directly to its own link, granting others read-only access to interact with the mini-app without sharing the full source spreadsheet. The published link is separate from the spreadsheet URL and has its own audience setting, so you can publish a canvas to your whole organization even if the file itself is shared with a smaller group.\n\nFor example:\n\nYou can only publish a Sheets canvas that you have edit access to. To publish, click the icon in the canvas toolbar, then click the “Publish canvas” option. A user can also choose between automatically republishing the canvas whenever changes are made to the source sheet or publishing a static view based on the current state of the data. From the same icon, you can copy the link, change the audience, or stop publishing at any time. Publishing is currently available in Sheets on the web.\n\n*Publishing a Sheets canvas from the  icon in the canvas toolbar, then opening the published link from an account without access to the spreadsheet*\n\n**Note:** Creating and editing Sheets canvases is subject to per-user usage limits.
