Welcome to GW Manager.

Once it is installed, I will then go to any of my google sheets, and under extensions, click on GW Manager to launch it in the sidebar.

Step 2 : Insert Update Users Sheet

Once, It is launched, I will go to manage users, and under users, I'll go to update users.

It is asking us to provide an email address, which is required, as we see the asterisk, rest of the information is optional.

We can put whatever information we want to update for our users.

If you leave any columns blank, the existing users information will remain unchanged.

As we only need to update users recovery information, we will enter users recovery email and phone number, and leave rest of the columns empty.

Step 3: Enter Users Primary Email Address and Recovery Information

Input the required user details and updated recovery information.

Please enter recovery phone number in the format of country code followed by the number.

For example, to enter United States phone number, enter 1 in front of the number as shown in our example here.
