Where to find a template after you buy it, and what to do the first time you open it.

After checkout, every template you bought appears under My templates in your account. A template sold with a set-up, such as the Car Rental Tracker, shows a Set up button instead: it gives you your own Google Sheets copy and links its forms.

Each template opens on a Start here tab. It lists every input the template needs, the order to fill them in, and which cells are protected. Read it before you type anything else.

Steps

  1. 1Sign in and open My templates.
  2. 2Choose Download (.xlsx) for Excel, or Open in Google Sheets if the template supports Sheets.
  3. 3Open the Start here tab and follow the setup order it describes.
  4. 4Fill in the Setup or Assumptions tab first. The other tabs calculate from it.
