Deployment and Publishing the Add-on
Congratulations, skilled data wizards!
Our journey of creating a data deduplication add-on using Google Apps Script is coming to an epic conclusion. In this final article, we'll learn how to unleash our creation upon the world by deploying and publishing the add-on. Get ready to share your deduplication wizardry with the Google Sheets community!
Deploying the Add-on for Personal Use
Before we make our add-on available to others, let's deploy it for personal use. This will allow you to use the add-on in your own Google Sheets without sharing it with anyone else.

Now, the add-on is deployed for your personal use. You can access it by clicking "Run" from the top menu and then selecting "Test as add-on." A side panel will open, showing your add-on in action.
Publishing to the G Suite Marketplace
If you're excited to share your add-on with the world, publishing it to the G Suite Marketplace is the way to go. This allows other Google Workspace users to discover, install, and use your deduplication add-on in their own Google Sheets.
