However, some common issues include problems saving scripts, improper file organization when creating new scripts, and the extension opening new files unexpectedly.

Fix suggestions: - the extension point to script.new, should be point to script.google.com - script.google.com should arrange by recent, like Docs and Sheets - create new script in a folder is not working correctly. The new scrip created in root drive instead of in the folder. Improvement suggestions: - option to minimize sidebar (Files, Libraries, Services). Perhaps move the sidebar to the right like other google products. - keyboard shortcuts list in help section

IoTでセンサーの数値をスプレッドシートに送って、それらのデータを処理するのに使えて便利。ただ、Chromeブラウザのアプリメニューから開くと、毎回新規のファイルが作られるようになったので、ホーム画面をブックマークした方が良い。
