Can an embedded Google Sheet be made editable in a thread?

[Bob Walance]

I did a test with the permissions set as show below. The link was copied. I then created a thread and pasted the link into it.

I could see the Google Sheet in the thread but could not modify its cell contents.

Is there some trick to making this work?

Here's the Google Sheet:

Embeds are view only. If you want to allow edit access, provide a text link to the sheet in addition.

Insert it as a link with customized text like so: editable google sheet. Otherwise, the forum recognizes the URL as a google sheet and transforms it to show the media content.

Thanks for the answers. I will learn how to create "a link with customized text".

I learned one way to create a link with customized text:
1- Create an OpenOffice Writer (text) document.
2- Paste-in the link that needs customized text.
3- Right click on the link and 'Edit Hyperlink'
4- The 'Text...' box can be edited with the desired link name.
5- Highlight the whole link (left click and move the mouse to select all the text in the link) and then copy.
6- The link with its new name can now be pasted.

On a side note - at 66 years old I really still do enjoy learning new things.
Not too long ago I memorized the Tom Lehrer song 'The Elements'. I can do it my sleep, and this probably explains why I'm not married:

"There's antimony arsenic aluminum selenium and hydrogen and oxygen and ... and ... Honey, why are you packing your bags?"
