How do I force a copy in Google Docs?
Go to the sharing dialogue, select "get shareable link", select one of the following: “Restricted”, “Franklin Township Schools” or "anyone with link can view", then select "copy link".
You should have a link that looks like this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<spreadsheetID>/edit?usp=sharing
Then change the last part to /copy instead of /edit?usp=sharing, it should look like this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<spreadsheetID>/copy
Use that link when sharing and the person you are sharing with will get a prompt to "make a copy" when they click it.
Another example using a Google Document
