Public Template Gallery submissions now open to everyone
Friday, July 17, 2009
Since
we launched the public template gallery last year
, people who use Google Docs have been asking for a way to share their own templates with all Google Docs users by uploading them to the public gallery.
Today, we've opened up the template gallery to the public and added a "Submit a template" link in the top right corner of the
gallery page
. If you have a great spreadsheet for planning a family vacation or a tried and tested form for collecting customer feedback, you can now submit your template to the gallery and anyone using Google Docs will be able to try it out.
Templates can be documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and even forms. Other people can preview your templates, and then click "use this template" to create their own copy for personal use. They can also rate your templates to help other users find the most useful templates.
Once you upload a template to the gallery, you can also
embed your template
(with a thumbnail image) into your own website or blog.
As before, the public template gallery makes it easy to sort and browse the templates by category, usage, rating, and document type. Do you have a document, presentation, spreadsheet or form that you want to add to the public template gallery? To get started, follow these steps:
1. Go to the "
Google Docs Template Gallery
"
2. Click the "
Submit a template
" link
3. Select the document you want to add to the template gallery, enter in a description, choose an appropriate category and click "
Submit template
"
If you're using Google Apps, check out this
blog post
about sharing templates within your own organization. We look forward to seeing what you create and upload to the gallery. If you have any feedback on the public template gallery, please let us know at
