Hey Product Hunt 👋 Thanks, @kevin, for hunting us! Google Sheets is one of the most popular applications in the world, and for a good reason. It offers a free online user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate with countless features and functions, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of tasks. And while it makes it easy for users to access and share their spreadsheets with others, it can fall short when it comes to sharing, collecting, and updating critical data with others in real time, making it inefficient and prone to error. 🤔 The solution? An add-on that equips teams with the tools to increase efficiency and data quality in their processes on top of Google Sheets. You can share parts of your Google Sheets, monitor, review and approve changes, and sync data from different sources – all within seconds. 📈 How does Layer do that? Think of Layer as the GitHub for your Google Sheets. You can: 🤝 Share Parts of Your Spreadsheet: Define individual access permissions for sheets and even cell ranges. ✅ Monitor and Approve Changes: Accept or reject edits before merging them with your main file. ⚙️ Automate the Process: Sync an unlimited number of files with your master spreadsheet. 🗂 Sync All Your Data in One Place: Connect to your tech stack and import your data. 🏁 How to get started? - Install the add-on and get started with a forever-free plan. - Create a connection to share parts of your sheets and review input. - Schedule your personal onboarding tour if needed so we can help you set up your first connections and integrations. 📊 Use cases Layer is versatile and flexible that we've seen it cater to all kinds of use cases and processes running on Google Sheets across different teams, domains, or industries, including: - Finance: Budgeting, forecasting, portfolio reporting, investor reporting, financial analysis. - Sales: CRM, sales, outreach, compensation, performance, and lead management. - Marketing: Campaign management, performance tracking, lead scoring, KPIs reporting. - Human Resources: Payroll reporting, time tracking, headcount planning, recruitment. - Project Management: Planning, OKRs tracking, admissions and enrollment, Procurement. and more! 📣 Product Hunt Special Offer - Install Layer this week and get a free Pro account with unlimited access for 2 weeks. - Use promo code "golayer-ph25" before February 1st for 25% off on all plans for one year! We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on how we can continue improving Layer for you! Constantin

Layer is highly praised for enhancing Google Sheets with powerful collaboration features. Users appreciate its ability to streamline data management and improve teamwork efficiency. The intuitive UI integrates seamlessly without clutter, and the product is particularly valued by finance teams for simplifying budget cycles. While onboarding could be clearer, the customization options and support are commendable. Users report significant time savings and positive feedback from both internal and external stakeholders. Overall, Layer is seen as a valuable tool for modern collaboration needs.

This is a great add on to GSheets (and I guess Excel) to allow selective sharing and cross-team data collection in a controlled manner. The onboarding experience could be slightly simplified, I feel: it takes a bit to understand what's really going on, i.e. what a workflow is, etc... Apart from that, a product with a lot of value and potential.

Thanks Marcel! Making the onboarding as easy as possible to understand is really important and we'll keep iterating to make it better.
