Will your software hide the original script code? I have a created a a system but don’t have it as add on , will your software be able to hide the original code and protect it from reselling it? Can I also revoke access if needed when selling via Gumroad?
A: only sheets does not hide code of your spreadsheet. In order to do that I'd suggest creating a google sheets add-on. yes you can revoke access from anyone in your sheets.
If I want to sell calculators or trackers made on Google Sheets, can I use onlysheets? I want the users to still be able to input their date into the sheets. I'm not quite sure what OnlySheets does. Does it protect the content as well so users cannot copy them, or does it just put the sheets behind a paywall, and the app simply gives a user access to it after making a payment?
A: only sheets simply gives a user access to it after making a payment. Only sheets does not prevent viewers or editors from copying your sheet or content. You can set that off for viewers if you would like, in the share settings of a sheet.
A: When someone normally sells a sheet, they set their sheet to anyone with the link. What OnlySheets allows you to do, is keep that restricted. OnlySheets will add each new buyer as a viewer to the sheet. Each time someone buys your sheet only they have access to the original.
Yes someone can, and should copy the sheet to their own google drive. But then they can't share the link of the original to anyone else. Well they could but it would be restricted.
A sheet seller usually can keep their own brand protected by updating often, and even making sure their branding is all over sheet not for if people share it, but when they do.
A: Only Sheets offers protection of the sheet itself. The contents of the sheet are available to buyers. Those buyers can copy/paste and copy the sheet to their own google drive. Just like purchasing an image or video online.

Does this offer sheet protection of a sheets content, or can a buyer just copy/paste the contents into their own google sheet?
