Add-On Not Working?

Google Sheets is currently experiencing a bug that prevents add-ons from functioning properly when you are logged in with multiple Google accounts simultaneously.

As a result of this bug, you may experience the following issues:
  • Login failures
  • Non-responsive buttons
  • Broken functionality

Currently, Google has not released a fix for this issue. However, there are two workarounds available to address it:

  1. Log out of all your Google accounts by clicking on the user icon in the top right corner of the Sheets document and selecting the "Log Out From All Accounts" button. Then, log back in with the one account that has access to the document.
  2. Alternatively, open an "Incognito Window" in your preferred browser and access the sheet in this window. Ensure that you are also only logged in with a single account here.
