Here is the Pro Tip on the page just in case you don't follow the link:
When you copy a URL (link) to any G Suite file, it probably says “view” or “edit” at the end of it. If you change that word to “copy”, it will force whoever opens that link to make a copy of the file instead of opening your file. That’s a trick to keeping your original version from being altered. (If you assign it through Google Classroom, you won’t need to do this.)
