Force 'Make a copy' in Google Docs

   

Google Docs allows you to share a document (or any other Googley thing) so that it requires users to do a forced 'Make a copy'.  You can do this simply by changing the end of the URL when you go to share it.

1. Click Share and Copy link.

2. Paste the link in the omnibox (don't hit enter). 

3. Change the end of the URL (everthing after the last forwardslash (/) to 'copy.

4. Copy the new link with 'copy' at the end.  

5. Paste that link in the omnibox.  You will now get a forced copy
