Safe Doc is a powerful tool designed to help G Suite for Education administrators create a safe and controlled digital ecosystem. By using Safe Doc, administrators can blacklist functions that they consider inappropriate for student use. This feature ensures that these functions will no longer be visible or accessible in Google Sheets.

Safe Doc simplifies the process of removing inappropriate Google Sheets function list. Here's how it works:

1. Insert > Function Menu: The "Insert > Function" menu in Google Sheets allows users to find and insert functions into their sheets. Safe Doc removes the inappropriate functions from this menu, ensuring students cannot find or use them.

2. Function Button in the Toolbar: Clicking on the function button in the toolbar triggers a function list menu. Safe Doc removes the inappropriate functions from this menu as well, preventing students from accessing them.

3. Help > Search the Menus or Shortcut Alt + / When typing "=IMPORT" or any other function name, Google Sheets displays an auto-completion menu to assist users in finding the correct function. Safe Doc filters out the inappropriate functions from this list, preventing their selection.

4. Assistive Function Usage Dialog: Google Sheets provides an assistive function usage dialog that offers examples, descriptions, and argument formats for various functions. Safe Doc blocks this dialog for blacklisted functions, ensuring students are not provided with any assistance related to those functions.

To begin using Safe Doc to restrict Google Sheets functions, follow these steps:

1. Deploy Safe Doc to Students' Chrome Browsers: Ensure that Safe Doc is installed and deployed to students' Chrome browsers. Refer to the Safe Doc deployment guidelines for detailed instructions.

2. Configure Safe Doc: In the Safe Doc configuration settings, add the "BlockSheetFunctions" policy and provide a list of function names to block. Function names are case-insensitive. For example, to block the IMPORTFEED and IMAGE functions, use the following configuration:

"BlockSheetFunctions": { "Value": ["IMPORTFEED", "IMAGE"] }

Safe Doc provides G Suite for Education administrators with a valuable tool for controlling and maintaining a secure learning environment in Google Sheets. By utilizing Safe Doc's function-blocking feature, administrators can restrict access to inappropriate functions, ensuring students can work safely and confidently. By implementing these measures for blocking Google Sheets functions, administrators can promote responsible data handling and create a secure online space for educational activities in Google Sheets.
