Detailed documentation

`getDocumentProperties()`

Gets a property store (for this script only) that all users can access within the open document, spreadsheet, or form. It is only available if the script is published and executing as an add-on or if it is bound to a Google file type. When document properties are not available this method returns null . Document properties created by a script are not accessible outside that script, even by other scripts accessing the same document.

Return

Properties — a property store for this script only that all users of the current document can access, or null if the script is not either an add-on or bound to a Google Workspace file

`getScriptProperties()`

Gets a property store that all users can access, but only within this script.

Return

Properties — a property store that all users of the script can access

`getUserProperties()`

Gets a property store that only the current user can access, and only within this script.

Return

Properties — a property store that only the current user of the script can access
