An Essential Tool for Google Drive Power Users
Fire up a clean file, save as it "Q3_Sprint", and instantly slap down a 3-column, 10-row table. The first column houses the deliverable, B the due, C the check-square. Highlight column C, head to Insert → Checkbox, and you grab 10 live squares in 8 seconds—no script required.
Switch the Default Restriction to "Public" Viewer Rights LinkedIn: add a one-sentence teaser right before the link—the feed treats it like uploaded footage and reach 2×’s. Reddit: old.reddit still only displays the first frame; stick t=0s so it grabs the title slide.
Fire up the file, freeze at the target frame, note the exact timestamp from the player. Ctrl-click → "Get share link" → copy → slam it into the address bar → add &t= plus the stamp. Pop open an incognito tab; when it jumps to the right moment, the thumbnail is frozen and safe to publish.
Telegram and Discord ignore custom timestamps; they default to the 1.5 s mark. Slap a 640×360 jpeg named poster.jpg into the same folder and reload the page—both apps will pick the custom image instead.

For traffic-light signals, apply conditional formatting: Format >Conditional formatting >Custom formula =C:C="Done" → #0e8a0e; =C:C="Blocked" → #d32f2f; =C:C="Active" → #f1c232. Restrict range to C2:C100 to keep speed 0.2 s on 500-row sheets.
Beside the table, add a single-cell chart: mark the "Done" column, Insert → Chart → Scorecard. Point data range to C2:C11, summarize to COUNTA, and switch "Show percentage". The scorecard updates every time you hit a box, giving an instant at-a-glance % without leaving the page.
