how to force a copy of a google doc via a link. #gafe #edmch #google

I just followed a link to a google doc and got this:

Pretty Cool Huh?

Here's how make that happen:
Grab the link of the doc, sheet, slide or drawing–the one you see when you are editing. (Hint: this link has the word “edit” at the end.) Then simply replace the word EDIT with the word COPY! The user will then be prompted to make a copy of the file. Once they click the “Make a Copy,” button, it will make a copy of the file and add it to their Google Drive. AWESOME!
