<div>0:00 Now that we have created our add-on Learn what Google Sheets add-ons are and how they can enhance your spreadsheet experience. Opens in new tab , we have created the Google Cloud project, we have put a couple of things into the app that we want to use.<br>0:11 Now we're gonna make it findable. We're actually gonna make the materials, the logo, the banner, screenshots, and the website all in this section.<br>0:19 I'm gonna show you how I, I do that we're gonna use Canva, and we're gonna use Card.

These are the two tools that I've used so that I have templates, that I have very simple things to copy and paste each time that I want to create a brand new add-on Learn what Google Sheets add-ons are and how they can enhance your spreadsheet experience. Opens in new tab and all the materials.<br>0:34 So when I first originally did this, I found that these steps took, a lot more time than I needed to take.<br>0:44 I found out that it was a lot of thinking that I really didn't need to do. And so I want to walk through, just in a minute here, some of the things that I thought about, but then never came true.<br>0:57 Yet, right?

It's only been a few months since I've made these five Google Sheet add-ons. So take a look at the Google Workspace Marketplace here.<br>1:07 The things we're going to create is this banner that is literally like the thumbnail of the add-on Learn what Google Sheets add-ons are and how they can enhance your spreadsheet experience.

But then you can see also the custom one I made.<br>2:11 The custom function Discover the power of functions in Google Sheets and how they can automate your tasks. Opens in new tab that I made, SpinTax, is far different.

It's much easier to read here, and has my brand colors that is like the greenish here.<br>2:21 So I'm gonna be. Changing the other ones. And I just want to make clear that it's very little, very little information you want to put on this banner.<br>2:29 Very little information you want to put in the logo. And very little time you want to spend on this. Because it's not the deci- this is not the decision people make to use this.<br>2:39 It'll be all- everything else other than that. So we'll go in this section. We'll- we'll make everything.
