The Weird Behavior of Setting "Anyone with the link" as Editor

-

 

What we think is possible...

Setting anyone who can access the link as editors would enable us to let people in organizations edit the same documents while keeping track of who edited what without going through the tedious process of adding each email seems workable. 

What is actually happening...

Any user who does not have their email listed in the part of people with access will not be tracked. In fact, anyone who accesses the link regardless if they are logged in or not will be tracked as "All anonymous users" when they edit the document as shown in the picture below. You will end up with a Google Doc with a lot of "All anonymous users" edits. 

If you want to track who edited what...

The only way is to add each person's email to this list of people with access. If you can export their email and add commas between them then it would speed up this process.

YYYY-MM-DD Format =CONCATENATE(IF(LEFT(A1,2)<RIGHT(YEAR(TODAY()),2),"20","19"),LEFT(A1,2),"-",MID(A1,3,2),"-",MID(A1,5,2)) DD-MM-YYYY Format =CONCATENATE(MID(A1,5,2),"-",MID(A1,3,2),"-",IF(LEFT(A1,2)<RIGHT(YEAR(TODAY()),2),"20","19"),LEFT(A1,2)) There are two parts to the formula. Depending on the format, the sequence will be different. Generally, I extract the month,...
