James Bowman (ID: 00000031c3b7a7cf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/19/2023 Very useful when I have so many docs open.

Dmytro Vinetskyi (ID: 000000c5369ea7bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 It do creates a bit different favicons for your google sheet files!

icon

Mike Wood (ID: 000000040deb3cb3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/07/2022 Not real helpful and no instructions. It sounds like it offers customization but it does not. It just creates a random icon when you refresh after installing it. Then you have to memorize the cryptic icons it offers. There are no instructions detailing this so the only way you will even know what it does is by accident later or by reading the review that tells you what it actually does. Not real useful in my opinion.

Jonathan Kibarsky (ID: 0000000e2e6732ca) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/18/2021 This is very useful, I just wish it allowed for custom icons and maybe custom emoji icons, should be easy enough to associate the doc id with an icon in chrome.storage.sync.

Lisa S. (ID: 0000002c53f8caa0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/19/2021 I like the extension but it would be good if they included instructions for people. I just installed this today and It took me a minute to figure out but it's not something you can customize. Essentially when you install the plugin > Refresh your google sheet and it then gives each sheet a unique "Pac Man" looking grid to help identify which one is which. It's a visual element but you don't control it nor can you edit it. You just have to remember which sheet has which icon. Hope that helps!
