How can you share a report without giving others access to the underlying sheets?

Sharing a report without giving access to the underlying sheets is accomplished by exclusively sharing the report itself and not the sheets from which it aggregates data. This method allows users to view the information compiled in the report while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the original sheets. This approach is ideal for situations where you want stakeholders to see summarized data or key metrics without granting them access to the raw data or detailed sheets that may contain sensitive information or additional context.

Converting the report into a PDF format does allow for sharing information without direct access, but it does not permit real-time access to the data or any updates. Emails can also be an effective way to send the report, but again, this method typically involves a static snapshot rather than an interactive report. Providing view access to the entire project, on the other hand, gives users broader access than desired, as it allows them to view the entire project and all its underlying sheets, which defeats the purpose of restricting access.
