Switching Your Data Source Authorization between Google Drive Accounts

Follow these steps to switch the Google Drive account that Templater is authorized to use. You may want to do this if you want to change your data source from one Google Sheets document to another Google Sheets document within a different Google Drive account.

WARNING  Versions of Templater prior to 3.1.0 depend on a user authorization flow that Google deprecated and retired in 2022. If you have an older version of Templater and want to begin using Google data, download the latest version.

1. In the Templater panel, under Batch Assets, click the Google Drive icon.
2. In the Google Sheets Setup dialog, click Sign Out. Then click Sign In.
3. In the browser window that appears, log in to a different Google Drive account.
4. Click Allow on any screens that discuss the actions and permissions Templater will receive. You must allow all of the access requested or Templater will not be able to use data in your Google Sheets data source.
5. When the browser redirects to a confirmation screen, switch back to Templater and click Authorize.
6. Verify that the list of Google Sheets documents shown in the list box is correct for the newly authorized account.
