An Office Script is a convenient way to automate common tasks. You can help your colleagues find and run your Office Scripts by adding a script button to a workbook. Not only does this make it easy for others to run the script, but the script is automatically shared.    

This procedure creates a button in the workbook that runs the script when the button is selected. It also shares the script with anyone who can edit the workbook. 

  1. Select Automate, and then select the script you want to run.

  2. If the script is not visible in the gallery, select All Scripts.

  3. In the Code Editor pane, under any tab, hover over a script name, and then select More options () > Add button.

Adding an Office Script Run button

This procedure removes all the buttons that run the script. 

  1. Select Automate, and then select the script you want to run.

  2. If the script is not visible in the gallery, select All Scripts.

  3. In the Code Editor pane, select More options (…) > Stop Sharing.

Note     If you delete script button, the script is removed, but only from that specific button. You can’t undo this delete operation and you can’t cut and paste the button elsewhere in the workbook.
