# How to add the Google Sheets app from the Pickcel app store?

> Learn how to display a Google Sheets spreadsheet on your digital signage screens

This guide shows you how to display a Google Sheets spreadsheet on your digital signage screens.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search for the Google Slides app">
    Log in to your [Pickcel account](https://console.pickcel.com/). Go to **Apps** and search for **Google Slides**, then click the app card to open its setup form.

    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Pickcel uses one app, labeled **Google Slides**, to embed Google Slides, Sheets, and Docs alike, since all three publish to the web the same way. Search for **Google Slides** even though you're embedding a spreadsheet.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your Google Sheet to the web">
    The app needs a published, embeddable link, not just a shareable link. Open the spreadsheet you want to display, then go to **File → Share → Publish to web**.

    </Frame>

    On the **Embed** tab, choose what to publish: the **entire document**, or a single sheet from the dropdown (for example just "Traffic Dashboard").

    Click **Publish**, then confirm.

    Copy the URL from inside the `<iframe src="...">` code that appears.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the embed URL and create the app">
    Back in Pickcel, enter a **Name** for the app.

    Your Google Sheets app is now ready to use.

## Displaying a multi-tab spreadsheet

<Frame>

</Frame>

If your spreadsheet has multiple tabs and you need to show more than one, you have two options:

* **Publish the entire document.** The embed stays interactive, so anyone standing at the screen can click between tabs with a mouse. Only choose this if the screen has a mouse or touch input.
* **Publish just the tab you need.** Choose that specific sheet instead of "Entire document" in the Embed dialog. This publishes only that one tab, non-interactive, which is the right choice for unattended screens.

<Tip>
  To cycle through several tabs automatically without any interaction, publish each tab separately and create a separate Google Sheets app instance for each embed link. Add all the instances to one composition so they rotate through automatically.
</Tip>

## What's Next?

The app is saved to your **Media** library under the name you gave it.

Add it to a composition, then schedule and publish it to your screens like any other content.
