API Reference

Copy sheet

Description

Asynchronously copies a sheet given details about the copy's destination within the same or another spreadsheet. Options are specified using a SheetCopy object.

This endpoint copies a sheet's content, but does not copy labels, comments, or tasks. It will copy over most formatting, however it does not copy user-defined style guides across spreadsheets. So if the source sheet has formatting that depends on a user-defined style guide, that formatting will be lost when copying to a new spreadsheet.

Unless otherwise specified, the copy appears at the top level of its destination spreadsheet, with an index of 0, and with the same name as the original sheet.
