Field notes
The free Build Your Class tool accepts CSV files from Google Sheets or Excel and exports a class list for use across the Sandbox tools. The page says it can shorten last names to initials. Downloadable web-app kits include a one-page Quick Start guide; separate Google Workspace tools are copied into the teacher’s own Drive.
