What is workbook print in Google Sheets?
Workbook Print covers bringing data into Google Sheets or sending it out as CSV, Excel, PDF, or print layouts. Import and export choices affect encoding, page breaks, and whether links survive the trip.
When to use it
Use import/export options when you hand files to finance, print a report, or refresh external data on a schedule.
When to skip it
Skip repeated manual exports when a live share link, embedded chart, or API pull keeps stakeholders on the latest data.
