Copy Atlas Directory

Next you will create a copy of the Atlas directory on your Google Drive. This will copy all folders, files and templates needed to get started.

  1. Create a new folder on your work-issued Google Drive or Shared Drive called Atlas.

  2. Copy the folder ID to your clipboard. The folder ID is shown in the URL after folders/ and before any question marks (?), like below.

    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/{folderID}?lfhs=2

  3. Open your copy of the Data Steward Admin Tool (located at script.google.com).

  4. In the Editor window, locate the file copy-folder.gs and select it.

  5. Update the variable destination with the folder id you copied to the clipboard.

    let destination = "{folderID}";

  6. Save the script project (Ctrl + S)

  7. In the script editor menu bar, select the copyAtlas function. img

  8. Click Run.

  9. You will need to authorize the script to access Google Drive. For step-by-step instructions, see here.
